I started "developing" websites with my AOL account around 1995. I registered my first domain 1996.
Now that most of the "web standards wars" have been fought and most of the new kids not even heard about Blue Beanie Day[1], to this day my best advice for single (!) amateurish developers is: a website is, what a browser interprets as such. Simply put or hack in your code and enjoy.
There is no right or wrong, only creative geniuses who put a lot of creative thinking into how to design browsers. Kudos to Zeldman for inspiring me. And kudos to all the people who simply hack in code and do not care about conventions.
