CALL FOR ADVICE

I may be a gno-it-all, but I'm a web-composition n00b. (I can type bare-bones HTML 3.0, but that's it.)

I want to build a pretty and slightly stylish internal website for my household network. Enough bells and whistles to make it look smooth, work well, and be compatible with most major browsers. (IE, Moz, maybe Opera.)

Server assets are Apache 2.0.40 on Redhat 9 with most of the extra condiments (PHP, etc.), but I'm not particularly interested in dynamic content yet. Knowing as little as I do, CSS is about as fancy as I wanna get right now.

I'm looking for my uber web-meister tastymates (pup and bigdeez come to mind) to clue me in on where to start. Things like pointers to "l337 website composition for dummies" HOWTO websites.

Don't Take This Woman Out to Dinner

NEW YORK (AP) — Sonya Thomas (search), a 99-pound woman known as 'The Black Widow,' won Philadelphia's annual Wing Bowl chicken-wing eating contest in a dramatic overtime on Friday.

Thomas, from Alexandria, Va., consumed 167 wings, beating Ed 'Cookie' Jarvis by two wings in a two-minute overtime round, the first in 10 years.

In December, Thomas was crowned the Fruitcake Champion (search) after downing nearly five pounds of the treat in 10 minutes, beating her closest rival — 405-pound Eric Booker — by a single bite.

Despite her size, Thomas is no lightweight on the professional eating circuit. She's eaten 43 tacos in 11 minutes to claim victory in the World Champion Chicken Taco Eating Contest.

She also holds the female world record for eating 24 hot dogs in 12 minutes and for eating 68 hard-boiled eggs in 8 minutes.
