Redesigns continue. The most recent one to cross my desk was Gollaher Ranch. This one was a little more difficult to style because I had to build the CSS using ems instead of my customary pixels. The client requested larger fonts and something easily resized. Most of our customers are using Internet Explorer 7, and ems readily translate font sizes for IE7 and Firefox users.

I also took the opportunity to learn what a:active meant and experimented with it in Gollaher’s redesign. CSS has become one of the easiest concepts I have learned, but is incredibly difficult to master. Every time I work on a new project I have discovered new features and capabilities available through CSS.

and After.

While not as complex as Blue Flavor’s blueprint.css, Tim and I have developed our own CSS framework. Take a peek at the basic HTML and CSS we start with.
