The publisher O'Reilly have a School of Technology where you can pick up a course on, amongst other things 'HTML and CSS', and XML.
These courses provide certification from the University of Illinois and are priced between $300 to $400 each.

Like others, I need to play video on a web page for clients. To this end I have been trawling the web for players and solutions.

If you give your web page a doctype, then you can make use of a validator to see that the markup is in good condition.
Smarten up your act. Validate your web pages so that web browsers know what they are getting and can interpret your HTML correctly.
Validation is an important part of web site implementation because if a page validates it means that the main browsers will be getting well formed markup and (in theory) should be able to render your design as expected.

Where pages are very long, like a list of events or news items, we might want a way to quickly move back the top of the page.
You will have seen ‘back to the Top’ or some such phrase used on web sites. I have always hated seeing that phrse, because ‘top’ doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Words lke this just distract from the real content.
There are often times, though that pages become very long when lots of items (like in a blog) are listed, and it really does help if there is a quick way to get back to the navigation and menus etc.
Here is what I am doing on a few sites.

I have set up a few forums and blogs with commenting and I have had some thoughts and issues about what should be private and what should be public. This can often lead to confusion. Why should things need to be kept private and how do you manage different levels of privilege?
This web site is a kind of depository for all the things about getting stuff onto the web.
