Dave Winer Doesn’t Get It
Finally, those of us who use tables are part of a mass of people who learned to develop websites that way. It’s impossible to get us to change. If that’s your cause I’m not on board. I’ve got more serious concerns.
Dave, I was part of the mass who learned to develop websites that way too, and I made the change. There are many many others like me. For someone who’s been around as long as you have, it’s surprising to me that you can’t see innovation when it smacks you in the face. Or do we all eventually all become lazy, attention hungry, egotistical jerks?

Well, i did like 10 version of my website doing css and xhtml 1.1
and all i can say… my next version it will be tablehack version no more CSS for me…
I want something stable. and also i don’t need to edit 1000000 million of htmls just 4 and i got my whole site working fine…
I recommend to recommend separate the style from content… rather than make all the whole site in css..
separate style from content doesn’t involve to make the whole site in css… it involves to use free block and presentional markupt or elements in the content database… if you get working that… you will can redesign your website within a day … and really hurry up using table hacks and css.
I will switch to css when major browsers support css 3 or almost 60% css 3.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. I learn from the best in the business and as far as I’ve read, the only way to separate style from content is to use full CSS. If you’ve heard otherwise, I’d be very interested in reading about it.
And why wait for CSS 3? The longer you wait, the longer it will take for browsers to support CSS 3 and for people to upgrade.
