New Design

This blog has a new design, prompted by my reading of Designing with Web Standards . I've never been very interested in web design, but I realize that it's a skill that a literate person must have in this era. I found Designing with Web Standards very enlightening, not only for it's discussion of modern web design with XHTML and CSS, but also for the historical background which it provides (I now understand the Mac vs. PC font size debacle of the late 90s that made the text on many pages incredibly small in Macintosh browsers). I'm still not a fan of web design, since it seems to be mostly a bunch of memorization about bugs in browsers and CSS quirks, but at least I feel more comfortable with it now.

The new design for this weblog still needs work, but if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
