16 Jan 09 CSS problems at bay for now…
I reworked the CSS on the test site by following this Jina Bolton tutorial at Sitepoint. My crazy div problem disappeared, which was my main goal. I consider this an interim step. I need something that looks like a semi-realistic website while I am developing. It helps me visualize what I am doing. I decided to leave the colors in the tutorial as-is rather than spend a lot of time tweaking them. Again, this is just a framework to get me going further. Hopefully I can enlist some of the folks on SG101 to assist with the final CSS and design.
The tutorial was very good. Since I’m not a designer, it was interesting to read how a good one works. And I learned a few things about CSS that should really help me in the future.
Speaking of cool CSS tricks, I found this tuturial on the web over lunch today. It is making me re-think how to markup the comments on my site. Semantically, perhaps I should display them as a list of blockquotes. Very interesting stuff!
Here is a screenshot of the test site with the borrowed CSS design.
