Standards-based Web Design with Expression Web - Videos that help!

Over the last few years we've had a number of customers say, "I like tables, hate CSS, why do I need to be concerned about Standards? Where do I even start?"

I received a tweet from the Expression Web Community today pointing me to a video series that answers both of these questions. I've only taken a brief look through the series of 10 videos, but it appears to be a very valuable collection of short snippets packaged with content. Jeremy Osborn has done a great job of not only covering these key questions, but also in providing a series that covers other key struggles you're likely facing in your transition from Tables-based to CSS-based web design.

I encourage you to take a look through this series:
