Alright, let's hear it; how do you like my stripes? Would you like me to have a style changer? Do you want to submit your own theme? Tell me what you think by adding a comment. I'm listening...

Tables are evil :-) Nah, not really... Not when they're used for tabular data at least. However if your clients aren't ready for standards, then there's no point in doing it economically speaking.
I've been to a lot of keynotes, well about 5 or 6 at least... and Eric is impressive. We're all awake, nobody dosing off. He's not preaching table-less design at all like one might expect. Instead, he's talking about standards-oriented design, keeping the code lean and clean. If you use a table for layout, avoid nesting tables excessively, spacer GIFs, and HTML elements for styling.
I'm liking this because though I've been pushing for XHTML and table-less designs whenever I can, I do realize that the audience and other factors must be considered before making that design decision.

These stripes are so awesome! Nice work!!
Thanks David :-) When I originally made this post it was a different set of stripes than these (but just as "awesome" if I do say so myself).
Truth be told, both sets of stripes (the previous background and this one) were my favorite pajama pants. One of these days I'll get around to adding a style changer and adding more of my jammies as backgrounds...Gotta get inspiration from somewhere, why not jammies?! ;-) ~Angela

I'm very excited about the project as I just finished a design theme for csszengarden.com
You can have a look at http://www.celebrityblog.net/zengarden/zengarden-sample.htm
Congrats! I don't know if or when I'll ever get around to it but if I do... well, you know. ~Angela

Comment from Dan on 6/13/2003
D'OH!!! Damn you MERLOT!!!!!!!
:-) hahahhahahahahaha
Note to self: Harass Dan about adding a time of reply field to the blog-o-matic database. Might be good to ask him while he's still schnockered... Hmm... ~Angela
Comment from Dam on 6/13/2003
Consider Derren smacketh... it's like he doesn't have enough work harassing me...
Good, he deserves it. That'll teach him. Although, I must admit, you're fun to harass...
Oh and by the way, when did you change your name? Typlexic? ;-) (Course you have access to my admin :-\) ~Angela
Comment from Derren. on 6/13/2003
Since you asked, here it comes (I just know I'm going to get "yeah, well your site uses tables for layout!). :) Personally, I find the stripes really distracting. They bother my eyes while I reading, to a such degree that even the limited amount of stripes visible on the "Add A Comment" window makes them sore after a while. For this post, I had to move the window off the bottom of the display so I'd see even less stripes. :)
I equate having "design guts" to having &qout;fashion guts". Would you actually wear a top with these lines on it? Hmm, fashion is different for women than it is for men. ;-) I guess Dan and I don't count since his site is Yeller (not "yellow") and mine is green (well, #003333). :)
Who needs a "Check Spelling" option? Real browsers tie into the built in spell checking services that the OS offers any app that's written to take advantage of it. :)
On a positive note, you don't use tables for layout! ;-)
Yes, I would wear clothing with those stripes. :-) If you find any, do let me know... Dan's gonna have to smack you for some of your comments you know. Them be fightin' words...
Of course I don't use tables for layout, what kind of geek would I be if I did? :-) ~Angela
Comment from Richard Perry on 6/12/2003
Love the stripes. I got the link from Eric Meyers' site. I am busy trying to become a CSS disciple so its always good to see good sites like yours. While I like style changers I wonder is it possible to do without using scripts? I maybe wrong but I have this thing about scripts, so if you can do it without then by all means lets see! I think the idea of style and separating style from content is wonderfully portrayed by the CSS Zen Garden site but I'm still looking to see how it can be done without scripts.
But love your bold design keep up the good work
Yet another person with good taste! :-) Thanks for the kind words. Nice to know how folks find my site too. (Thanks Eric.)
I'm not sure what you have against scripts, though I presume you mean JavaScript? I happen to like JavaScript, but I'd probably do it on the server-side. I'd either use a method similar to what Dan did for My DWfaq or the method we used in a session we gave at TODCON 2001.
Unfortunately I don't get to spend as much time playing with my blog as I'd like, or by now a style changer would be done. I've got to do a sushi theme, I just have to...
Thanks Again! ~Angela

Those stripes show real design guts. I like that. It's been hinted that my all-css bike site is 'powerful' (whatever that means).

Design guts; I'll have to remember that one. :-) I'll definitely be checking out your site some more this week. Lots of great stuff there! I'll also be examining the bike site when I get a spare moment. Sans tables for layout, I like. :-)
Sidenote: Love the domain name. At first I expected it to be a search engine positioning site. My brother's name is John, and that's what he does.
Thanks for the comments! ~Angela
Comment from Dan on 6/8/2003
Stripes are gooooood
Well of course you like 'em... your blog is yellow! ~Angela
Comment from Pete on 6/8/2003
Lose the stripes :), they are too distracting. The focus should be on the content and the menu, but all I see is the stripes!
I few styles would be nice, always nice to offer a choice :)
ps... when clicking 'Check Spelling' I get a 'Page Cannot be found' :( .. I was curious about what you are using for the spell checking, is it a custom dll?
I won't be getting rid of the stripes any time soon, but new themes are entirely possible (though not soon either). As for the spell check... OOPS! It was working in the admin area (not that I use it as much as I should!) and I just assumed it worked on the front end. It is an Active X requiring MS Word. ~Angela
Comment from Jay on 6/8/2003
It's your blog.. I say make everyone see what you want them to see.. unless you decide to change it to brown leopard! :)
Hmmm now that's a thought...match my laptop case. ~Angela
