Look at the pretty button, the shiny red button! Oh no, wait. Your button isn’t red. Your button isn’t even shiny! It is rather dull these days because you (like many others) have forgotten about styling up your buttons to get your Web site interface a smooth new look. Buttons are the last thing people [...]

Over the past few weeks I have been working hard at collecting some above average links to share with you on and about the world of design and CSS. No matter how many guides and tutorials get launched out there, this is still going to be an area that has a bad habit of [...]

When push comes to shove in Web development I am just as happy with notepad as I am with any other Web site editor out there today. Most of the either over promise or under deliver. I figured I would give the world of WYSIWYG editors another shot though. I downloaded Nvu [...]

Not often do I find a really good external resource to share with folks when it comes to learning how to create a CSS design. For the most part, in the past I have suggested people take a look at some of the basics layouts that are already out there and then make them [...]

Browsing around the Web, I am always looking for new tools to help in the art of Web site design. Especially when it comes to building the basic foundations, this is not always an easy task to do. Many Web sites feature the basic designs that you can build upon, but often the code for [...]

When designing a Web site layout or just playing in CSS on your recent project, you might run into the same problem I have been having since day one. It is hard to determine exactly where all of these pixel marks are. You say you want the menu 100 pixels to the left, [...]

It might not be the easiest thing in the world to master the art of creating and editing multi-columned layouts in CSS. Cascading Style Sheets can be hard to wrap your mind around sometimes, and getting started with them is often the most hardest part of all. Well I have found another cheat [...]

I have never stopped being amazed by what Cascading Style Sheets can do in the right hands. Learning how to do all of these uber-cool techniques can become a pain though. From learning the basics to becoming a CSS master, I am sure there is a lot of work, learning, trial and error [...]

I do not know who you should blame it on, but for some reason dark designs do not seem to be that popular these days. Maybe it was Google’s fault for showing people that simple could be good as well. Maybe it is this whole Web 2.0 thing that says you have to [...]

I have said it before and I will probably say it again, there is no way that anybody is ever going to be able to memorize every style sheet element there is out there. It is just impossible. If you want to brag that you know them all, then you need to go [...]

Come on, get with the times! Rounded corners these days are all the rage, how come you are not using them yet? I have always wanted to experiment with rounded corners on a Web site layout, but it always seemed too difficult for me. Thankfully though I have found a resource that [...]

The usefulness of a little good style sheet creation can go a long way. The most recent CSS tip that I have run across has to do with adding images to just about anything and everything using CSS. Now you have seen the icons that trail links (or that might show up before [...]

When it comes to getting the bare bones of a CSS layout done, some of us might need a little help. Sure you know where you want you content but do you know how to get it there? When I need a really simple and easy basic layout there is only one article [...]

When you work Web hosting support, some of the questions you get are a given. How do I host my Web site? How do I get people to visit? Where can I get a free layout to get myself started? Well, the other two questions might have to be saved for a rainy day - [...]

Now there is nothing really new about cascading style sheets - otherwise known as CSS. It has been widely used for some time now. If you find that CSS and yourself are not real good friends just yet, have no fear because I have a couple of hot spots on the Web where [...]

Now I never have understood floating in CSS and probably never will. Well, let me take that back. I think that I have the basics down, but past that I am pretty lost. So when it came to learning a little more about the layout and design aspects of the “float” code [...]

Now I would not say I was a big pro at CSS editing or even Web design. I am a little sloppy with my code, I still use tables here and there and I wouldn’t exactly say I am the greatest layout artist in the world. Thankfully though, there are good tools out [...]

When you are making the jump from standard HTML to creating Web sites with CSS, you sometimes need a few gateway helpers. You need something that helps connect the old ugly HTML codes you have been using with the new beautiful CSS standards.

I am not a cascading style sheet master nor do I play one on TV. One CSS problem I have had for a while is getting columns to even out. The problem is when you have one column that is bigger than the other. How do you get the background color for [...]
