Long story so I will make this short. I have been working with technology since 1997. For the last 10 years, I have been teaching technology classes at community college. I retired in 2018. I came across your site today and was thrown away by how well it was written and the format. You make it easy for anyone to follow and understand the different options. I wished could have shared this site with my students. I want to encourage you to continue this format and continue to add articles.
Thanks

Love your website. It's well organized, complex on the inside and simple and beautifully designed on the outside - so easy to follow. That's an art. I really appreciate what you done with this site.
Thanks,

I come across your web through search engine.
That's definitely a wonderful website. However I've took notice the Chinese calligraphy doesn't match your domain name "the art of web". The three Chinese characters mean "a website about art". The correct one should be "網的藝術"(Im afraid those characters cannot be displayed correctly on your machine.)

Just happened upon your site this evening and find it a real joy to use. Clean, correct, helpful, and lovely to look at. Thanks for providing such a thoughtfully designed service. I will recommend it to the rest of my team.
Thanks! If I only had more time to keep it updated...

The Chinese character there is correct. Very often when translated from chinese character to English the words or sentence structure is inverted.
Good to know. Thanks

Great site. It looks like there is a lot of useful and interesting information here. I'd sure like an RSS feed to follow that told me when you posted some new information
Thanks for the feedback. I've added an RSS feed now that will includes links to new articles as they are released.

Very beautiful Chinese calligraphy you chose. Love it.
However, it does not match the English title. To translate the Chinese writing, it means "The Web of Art". To correct it, the third character needs to be at the top and add another character in between.
Thanks Becky. A friend of a friend in China wrote the characters for me herself so it's not something I can easily change. Actually I'm happy to hear that it's so close in any case, and maybe there are different ways it can be interpreted
