I’ve decided to pick an html and css weakness each week and work on that weakness. Each weakness I choose, I’ll find a project each day to work on that relates to that weakness. For instance, this week, I’m working on the <nav> element and plan to code several different nav’s in several different styles. I found this post really helpful in understanding the basics of creating good navs.

Nice Collection Of Dingbat Fonts

If you’re not familiar with dingbat fonts, they’re just little pieces of clipart that you can use in your scrap-booking, and banner designs. When you load them the characters on your keyboard turn into clipart images instead of letter and numbers. I love playing with dingbats. I did a basic video on the basic use of dingbats. It’s a bit old, but the info is still relevant if you’re not familiar with using them.
