I think I avoid some of these 'sins', at least.

No spacer gifs; all my formatting is done by tables, but that only
because
there ISN'T another way to do it in HTML. I try and avoid nested
tables, they just get ugly in short order.

And I still use FONT tags because, first they work, and second I haven't
taught myself CSS yet...

OTOH, my HTML is entirely hand-coded and I'm pretty careful. The only
reason my pages aren't W3C HTML3.2/4 certifiable is because of the
really,
really terrible coding the various free suppliers use in their ad
banners! (Last time I tried to W3C cert my pages w/ their online
checker,
EVERY ERROR that I got back was in one part or another of Freeserver's
code, not mine...)
