Web Coding First Steps by Dave Everitt [Leanpub PDF/iPad/Kindle] A thorough step-by-step in basic HTML and CSS - build a basic responsive website and learn a little on the way

Awhile ago I wrote this for complete beginners and as a handbook for non-tech students I was teaching then. Still valid, might simplify even further: leanpub.com/webcodingfir...

do you have some quotable references and links for this- particularly the Badenoch quote, police visits and Christian (American?) lawyers? The latter I read are now campaigning in the UK :-(

oh, I think I am! Otherwise I'd never improve anything! I will get to that issue… no rush, but I will ;-)

I find it more flexible than jekyll.

oh dear… that's a a bit weird :-( I only just finished it, so will try to identify the issue - thanks for the feedback…
