I have actually never been to webmonkey, but I've heard so much about it... Still sad that a huge resource is closing. :(

Same here. :( I learned almost all of my basic HTML/CSS/etc at Webmonkey and here when I first started web design. It's sad to see it go.

The quick reference things were one of my favourite parts of the site, all the important stuff on one page. It's too bad it's closing down.

that is rather sad- I originally learned HTML from Webmonkey for Kids :P and I liked some of their stuff, like the reference chart...

is it just me or am i the only one that finds that place really confusing? lol. I have been there a few times, although i have never learned anything of it because mostly for what i waslooking for couldn't be found (yeah it's me that couldn't find it :P)

still sad though i guess ..

personally, yes, it was a bit on the confusing side for me to so i just did a "search" each time to find a specific think to learn about.

I found the search engine a bit confusing at times (it would yield unrelated pages and stuff), but other than that I liked it. :P

I never liked Webmonkey ;) When my site started getting a lot of traffic, Webmonkey noticed and made an HTML help site for kids. It just bugged me a little :D Tucows tried to do the same thing. They even asked permission to use my little train cursor :hehe:

i spose its sad webmonkey is closing, i never really used it (apart from PHP tutorials, which were very good) but just knowing it was there was a kind of comfrot.
