Digg ThisMolly, Eric: instead of one of you — or both of you — going to John, let’s have John come here — to Cleveland, Ohio.
In other words, let’s move the mountain to Muhammed, not the other way around.
I’ll volunteer my house — my living room, or my dining room — for the day or two that it will take Mr. Dvorak to learn what makes CSS tick (which, for me, at least, is child’s play). I have the wireless connectivity, plus hard-wired connectivity, a decent server to experiment with, a fast (3mbps connection) DSL line, and more.
Between the three of us, we can teach Mr. Dvorak the proper way to handle CSS, the ins and outs, the good and the bad.
We can also teach him exactly where he is erring. We can show him why pushing the old methods just won’t do the trick anymore, and why we web designers/developers must separate content from presentation — just as newspaper and magazine publishers have done for the last 15 years (hey — my bride is now the Managing Editor of the News-Herald — she was promoted! — and she doesn’t worry about styles!).
In fact, it would be my pleasure to host the gathering.
What say ye? Can we find a time that is mutually agreeable?
(73.8 — 65.4 — 6.4 — a backslide!)

I’m down with it. We could alternate between your place and mine, even.

Cool! Have you heard from Molly yet?

I’m totally down w/ it. Although it appears, unless someone’s playing with me, that he might have taken me up on my offer: http://www.molly.com/2006/07/27/dear-john-dvorak/#comment-70673

Cleveland, Ohio. That would be incredible - and you would need to invite me, simply because I am about an hour away and would love to take part. SOMEONE needs to give him some help.
In other news, I tried finding a way to contact you - would be interested in meeting with some other web developers in the cleveland area. I will be up there for a meetup.com group this thursday with a friend.
* still watching to see if he ever takes up the many offers out there…*
