I just finished reading Designing Without Tables and it was really good. Totally refreshed my mind on CSS.
I mucked around with the samples throughout the book and think that Gennas Jewellery site is probably ok for layout and style. I will probably tweak it a bit – definitely try to do something with the logo [...]

Developer Day Scotland Agenda has been announced and looks really good.
I went last year and thought it was excellent so was looking forward to this year. Only one clash and one empty slot for my preferred items I voted for so a good result for me.
Right now my plans would be for:

Genna got another call from a web design company today. This time they are claiming that that a government scheme is there to help companies with websites.
For £149 per year she can have a site with a shop. A quick scan of their site shows that that package is £199 per year. The £149 one [...]

i finally managed to see Rob Deb’s comedy show. I couldn’t manage the past two years but after seeing the stuff in SciFi Now was more determined to go. Being on earlier made it easier too.
He was really, really funny. Lot’s of nerdy material, references but also stuff non-geeks could get related to his attempt [...]

Looking at styles for her blog, Genna liked the Green Trilobita theme by Trilobita.
She wanted the palette changed to blues though so I made modifications. I couldn’t see any licence, but assuming it was GPL‘d I’ll put the modifications here.

Footer.php
Added text Colours modified by Alan Graham to show I had [...]
