What an incredible web site! I'm just starting to learn CSS & found this site. At first I didn't understand what they were doing, but after learning just a little bit about CSS, I'm stunned at what you can do with CSS. What a great idea they have here! The site provides a basic HTML text document. Then using CSS only, they add the layout & design elements of the site. They invite others to submit their CSS design. There are some gorgeous web designs featured here, & the fact that all the design & layout elements are done in CSS is incredible to me. I've been combing this site for days, enthralled at what you can do with CSS. Have any of you submitted your CSS design? If nothing else, the site is a great resource for ideas on web design. Lezly

I also have The Zen of CSS Design book by Dave and Molly from Zen Garden that I purchased a few years ago. I don't suggest this as a "first-timer" book to learn CSS, though. I love the Zen Garden site and all the creative ideas, so that is why I included the link on my site. Very cool. __________________ Jules, SunRise Virtual Solutions - WordPress Customization & XHTML/CSS Web Sites

You simply choose the layout that you like, download the coding and customize to your likes. I chose one for my site and then adjusted the coding to fit my particular needs. __________________ Lee Drozak - My Office Assistant Your Virtual Business Office, now offering Virtual Event Services

Like Stephanie I'm no "artiste", either, so I love having choices to inspire me that I can tweak as needed. I think I'm going to be using these resources a lot! Thanks for sharing, Lezly & Lee. __________________ Liz (website coming soon!)
