posted April 29, 2008  

A nice way to implement you navigation is to organize it into tabs. Way back when, before I started using CSS, I used to make tabs the hard way…image by image. If you still do this now, then I’ll show you how CSS can save you a lot of time and effort.

Having two background images for your site

posted April 28, 2008  

There sometimes comes a time when we realize that a plain color background just isn’t enough. Then we find or make this insane looking background that we just have to put on our page. Problem is, it doesn’t tile, repeat, well throughout the page. So to fix this, we need to use another background image that does look good when it is tiled.

I’ll show you a quick and easy, maybe too easy, way to creating this effect.

Styling blockquotes

posted April 27, 2008  

Today I’ll show you how to stylize those blockquotes that are sometimes necessary in web sites.

posted April 25, 2008

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>

In this tutorial, I’ll show you a way to get around this and implement a fake “position:fixed.”
