Webmonkey is back!

This used to be one of my first reference points when I was learning about web design back in the day. It was here I learnt about using CSS for layout (in 1998), and a bunch of what were then very cool Dynamic HTML (DHTML) gimmicks.

Webmonkey has been around the houses a little since I was using the site in the late 1990s, and its longevity (albeit with the occasional hiatus), coupled with the never ending rise and fall of web technologies, has prompted a new publishing format.

But as we were going through Webmonkey’s decade-long library, we realized much of the content left on this site was out of date or, worse, irrelevant. Web technologies change extremely quickly. Specs come and go, some standards recommendations get picked up by some browsers and ignored by others. Faced with the prospect of going back into the archives to continuously update and rewrite the older articles, we decided to turn Webmonkey into a collaborative project. It was an easy decision.
