What do you say guys. On a Web Design track and have a more in depth HTML and CSS Foundations video series lined up next since completing 'How to Make a Website' in 2 days.
Should I practice what I've already learned or will the next step in my track help me with that - How did other beginners on here approach it and how did it work out for you?

The reason being when I had done the HTML CSS in depth, it made my foundation stronger. Also became more confident.

1,247 PointsThat was my thinking, that maybe I'd get the practice and further understanding I need from the next steps, without stepping away and making websites for a few days.
I think I'm going to make a quick website (couple hours) now with as little reference as possible, see if I can do so without breaking the internet, then jump straight back into it if so.
The only part I'm not really confident on so far is with the margin and padding elements... probably because maths isn't my strength.

If watch the make a website. It is all there other wise. Visit www.w3.com. A good site that helps with the basics of HTML. I find google kind of answers most my problems.
