A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks Liese. Shoulda done that myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone want to volunteer to write a two-parter of a document? A brief intro to CSS, and then a breakdown of the CSS zones on our pages? Light, explaining colours, margins, borders, lists, padding, and the like. And then spoiler span, link panels, footer, etc.

I'm happy to help with fact-checking but I'm not sure I'm up to original content.

I could probably do that ita, if no one else wants to. By Monday?

For now, just the intro to CSS part. Some of the containers may change. But that'd be great on any schedule you can manage.

Sure thing!

Jon, do you think there would be any value to have a super-short helper off to the right of the CSS entry box, and then a link to the full page from there?

To the right would make the page too wide, I think. But below, maybe?
