timepieceI've been working on my web page(s) for the past few days, trying to clean up the markup ganked from someone else (with permission). Nothing like trying to understand and tweak existing code to improve your understanding of how HTML and style sheets work. I know SO much more about style sheets now.
So I've managed to eliminate all of the tables but one in the layout, make it look almost the same in Firefox and IE (though not quite), and add a few more live elements (via javascript) so there's always something different. I also managed to get virtually all the layout stuff in the style sheet, with only structural stuff in the HTML. There were just a few items that were exceptions to their classes. But now it's so much easier when I just want to change margins or whatever.
And all my various profiles on all the social sites are now interlinked. Now if I could just convince Google that this is the page that should show up before my profiles on userscripts.org, Amazon, and Google Co-op ....
I think it all looks pretty good.
