Outdated: Yes, it is!

“Best viewed using…”
Well Internet Explorer is not the only browser. It currently does have a larger market share, but if a web designer cannot design for other browsers (see list below) then they aren’t very good at all or lazy or worst of all uninformed.
Browsers:
- Firefox (PC and Mac)
- Mozilla
- Netscape
- Opera
- Safari (Mac)
What’s In : What’s Out

What’s Out
Font tags, complicated nested tables, marquees, blinky things.
Okay, what is it with web site designers still using <font></font> tags???
A friend that is also a web designer/developer is in the process of updating a web site. On one page alone there were over 626 font tags. Aaaccckkk!
Using any uncessary code aka bloated code causes search engine spiders to slow down while roaming a site, adds weight to the page, and let’s not talk about how long it would take just to update all of them.
What’s In
CSS!!! By using an external stylesheet it is possible to completely change the font (not by using font tags) throughout the site by just changing one line of code.
CSS is also a method of presentation. You can do things with it that you just cannot do using font tags.
