- eastcoastweb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Max Designs is actually a professional design firm. Into Web Standards and Accessibility. These templates or more for a teaching perspective. Certainly nothing someone using Front Page would care about. If your using Front Page, you know nothing about Web Design and Web Standards. Especially semantic mark-up or accessibility.
- JanesDaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Not really new or diggworthy, but it's not a bad site, so a small digg from me.
Another one for scholars of CSS might be http://www.csszengarden.com/ - vstarre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sites that tend to show off what CSS can do tend to show off how css can mimic table-based layouts. However, CSS can't mimic table-based layouts. CSS is good for formatting a document (like a book or a report), but is based on what the web was like 10 years ago. Web pages are now formatted much more like brochures, and while something like CSS is desperately needed, it is currently very limited. You can't just blame "bad site design" whenever someone tries to do something that CSS can't handle. You can blame the designed for trying to use CSS to do it, but I certainly think a limited standard (CSS) and the people pushing it, pretending it's capable of anything (the W3C) have some blame in the matter.
I really hope that CSS, or something like it, is some day capable of truely seperating content from layout information.
Sorry, I'm from Slashdot, I'm treating this like a thread and trying to get all discussy, I guess I should stop :) - theadvinci, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2You want learn that way. The only way you'll learn CSS is by implementing not reading. When you need it, Google it, use it.
- offlercrocgod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nice +digg
- cavicster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think that I may have seen this already but it is useful. Thanks. +digg
- vstarre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fun game to play with any site which claims to show off the power of CSS:
1) Raise your resolution to something normal people use
2) Increase the font size to compensate for the new unreadable+squashedToOneSide look of the page
3) Time how long in nanoseconds it takes for the "power of CSS" to fall apart
4) Wonder why anyone listens to the w3c - teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2easy enough to "borrow" a css from any site, but this is a very simple way to get a few quickly, so +digg
- slhilbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As always perfect timing for me. Just getting ready to sit down and look at some CSS and look what Digg gives me.

http://www.getyourowntots.com - Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And I just totally love their fixed-width CSS layout. Bravo!
- robognome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1vstarre has a point, although I don't know that it's the w3c's fault entirely.
CSS is a very good ideas as far separating semantics from presentation, providing access ability. However...
From the standpoint of creating an overall page template (e.g. layout, ) that will not suddenly do strange and unexpected things when you change browsers, screen sizes, fonts, etc., I have found CSS hideously lacking in robustness. - pussyWagon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty old but still a great resource.
- littlebluedevil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting designs.
- xpirtdesign, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1time saver. great site.

Sites like that aren't designed well. Don't blame it on CSS or the W3C. - midorigin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1True, this is very unoriginal, but I'm still digging it to help spread awareness of web standards.

- danbruno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm just getting into CSS, and I found it useful. Thanks.
- trampish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good place to start for examples. Boring as all hell though.
- mkelley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is an old site, I remember it from years ago...
- fritzthecat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bit old news

Actually I learn faster by reading books on css tags instead of looking at examples. I end up with a larger grasp of the concepts. But thanks for lumping me (as well as some others) with you. After a statement like that you sound extremely intelligent. - pointaken, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Not very original...or diggworthy
- patrickweber, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I would assume this appeals to the FrontPage WYSIWYG crowd.
Honestly, if you are really serious about designing a site with CSS, go learn it. - Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Yeah, wonderful. This has been around for a few years. They're called tables.
No seriously. You want a tabular layout, use a ***** table. Why dick around with this *****.
