CSS Inspiration from CSS Zen Garden

There are alot of very talented designers online who's work I admire. Some have taken CSS to a whole new level and design with completely tableless layouts. It takes some getting used to to transition from tables to classes, and I find myself asking "Can I do that with CSS?"

So, every time those types of thoughs come to mind, I visit CSSZenGarden : http://www.csszengarden.com

It's an incrediable source of inspiration for me to be see how far you can go with just CSS. The variations on the same base vary so widely that it's quite obvious how flexable CSS can be.

If you are in need of inspiration or just want to see what some of the most talented designers have come up with, I suggest you check it out! For the more adventurous, you can even contribute your own piece of the garden.

CSS Tips and Tricks

Welcome to my blog about CSS tips and tricks. I have been designing web pages since about '98, long before CSS came into wide use. In fact, I admit - I was slow to convert to the spiffy new CSS driven design.

Little by little, I started experimenting with CSS and exploring all that you can do with it. I was amazed at how flexable CSS can be once you "get it", and I finally "got it".

CSS is a great way to seperate design from code. It keeps it nice and neat. Sort of like object oriented web design if you have a programming background.

I am still learning about all that CSS has to offer and wanted to set up this blog to share some of the cool tricks that I pick up along the way. I hope you enjoy!
