<b>Sunday is Mother's Day!</b> Why not send Mom a hand-crafted web page to show her how much you care? Mozilla makes a tool that makes it easy to tell mom you love her -- Webmaker! We're working on a prototype this week that will help people make a page for Mom -- and learn a little HTML and CSS along the way. We'll share a sneak peek in today's lightning presentation from Jacob Caggiano.
