'Dirty Girls'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I think Make 'em Proud is my favourite, in terms of how much styling was done to the base HTML.
I'm currently working on diagramming the CSS structure of the two main pages here--index.php and showthread.php. I'll link to the GIFs in BBABB++ once I'm done, if you want to play around. I found this site has very clear (if repetitive) explanations of some finicky things, and it gave me the idea of drawing it.
Any excuse to Visio!
I've also requested Xhtml and CSS for Dummies and another book through Interlibrary Loan.
I'm trying to teach myself some CSS through taking an established site and poking at the code to see what happens. The results are, um, variable.
Yikes. Try the Aussie site I linked to. It really walks through stuff nice and clearly.
I learnt most of my CSS just reading the W3 docs. That was messy. The next quantum leap was trying to translate b.org into CSS only. Jon stepped in and did tricky stuff like browser compatibility, but it got me over much of the positioning hump. I just wish I'd known about the css.maxdesign.com.au site at the time.
Now I'm laying out the boxes in Visio for the CSS on our site. Man, it's crowded up in here. And we're nothing compared to many sites out there.
A List Apart is another excellent source for tutorials on CSS and xhtml. [link]
eta: Also, don't forget a link posted by moonlit a few months ago. The Opera Web Standards Curriculum, has a section on CSS, amongst other things. [link]
Oh, I love CSS Zen Garden. I just haven't had the time to really work through much of anything on it. So when we got a sort of premade site at work, but wanted some menus to move around I googled some directions and then poked at things until the menus went where I wanted. Eventually I'll have a few (maybe a few dozen) hours together to learn CSS properly.
A List Apart is a great site. I love them and their design philosophy. And their site renders really well on my teensy phone.
CSS boggles my mind. Just so much in there.
A friend of mine would like a website that looks something like this for her photo and card business.
I've crawled through about 500 templates so far and have not found anything as simple and elegant. Can anyone point me to a likely source? She needs an integrated cart for sales.
How can I change the destination folder of the Movies icon in Leopard's finder?
(When I migrated everything to this computer, I left Movies behind because I was short on disc space. Now I have all that media on an external drive, but I can't figure out how to tell the computer that. When I click on that icon, it tells me it can't find the volume Movies.)
