Seventh layout: CSS 1.0

The blog has yet another design change. Although I actually did like the last design, my sister simply abhorred it. In her words, “A two year old could have made that.” That may very well have been true, since it was so simple.

Hopefully, this design will stay for a while and will entice me to write more entries. The search bar is also finally back, so whoever would like to use that function may do so.

This design is made entirely with CSS and XHTML except for a header photo. I realized that I am not good at writing entries with pictures, so I might as spruce up this website with a photo in the header, just so the website does not look that bland.

While coding the design, I also discovered that CSS3 is currently being implemented in different browsers. That really made me feel old and behind; the last time I coded a layout, CSS2 was in the new thing. But I embraced the new functions. Finally, I could create a shadow behind a picture and create round boxes without having to use photoshop to provide picture edges. However, this function is only available in Firefox and Opera. Hopefully, Internet Explorer is not far behind in implementing CSS3 changes. They do make designs so much easier to create and much more eye pleasing.

If there are any problems with the layout, please leave your browser name and version in your comment and I will see to fixing the code.
