As a web designer an important element of my job is to keep up to date with web technology.
A technology that has been floating around for a few years is the coding of web site without using tables to control the layout but cascading style sheets. This is certainly gaining popularity and has many advantages over the table approach.
I recently came across a challenge at zengarden.com;download the HTML and CSS file and create a unique web site..but by editing only the CSS file. It looked like a great way educate myself on the finer points of cascading style sheet issues and indeed was.
They have just published the design, Purple Haze, I submitted http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/alldesigns/bydate/
