Sticking my toe into the big tub of CSS

…And damn, it’s hot! I’ve been doing a bit of web design work recently and after having seen some of the nifty things friends and admired can do I decided finally learn some more CSS, as I should. Tate has been kindly helping me out here and there and now I’ve almost got a two-​column tem­plate ready which I intend to use for my first Word­Press theme some­time within the near future. I would love to do some­thing like a week-​long Word­Press theme design­ing spree with some friends during some distant hol­i­days…

I wasn’t very happy with the design this place is using and after seeing what Phu Ly has done with his site as of late, I was over­come with a desire to revamp a bit (not to mention awe). So, taking Phu’s Ambiru, a lovely photo from stock.xchange and some time, I think I’ve plugged the hole and I ought to be stick­ing with it for a while.

In other news Peter Costello has released the 2006-07 Aus­tralian Budget. I’ve had a quick glance at it, but intend to go through it more thor­oughly on the weekend.

    Oh, dear me. The name sounded fem­i­nine. I suppose that shows you what us Euro­peans know about Asian names.

    This must come as quite weird to you given you recently even wrote about names and their ety­mol­ogy.

    No worries, it’s an under­stand­able mistake. I was more amused than abashed.
    I guess I need to add a photo to my about page:)
