5Its all about butterflies
More good news! I’m very happy, because my first submission for the CSS Zen Garden has been accepted and now up on the Zen Garden Site. Its called ‘entomology’, for reasons that will become obvious. If you use Camino/Mozilla, you’ll get to see everything, as there a few pseudo CSS elements that aren’t essential, but just add a little something.
The Zen Garden is a good challenge for CSS designers – you can only change the stylesheet (although the HTML page is well marked up) so it really hones your skills. I’ve learnt more about CSS selectors by doing this, and how they can really cut down on coding.

Great work on the design! I especially like the little trick you used to produce brackets around the validation/cc links! Also, great job on your homepage - the leaf photograph makes everything work extremely well.NickTheGeek said 1841 days ago:
Hi JonJust wanted to say "WOW!" - I think "entomology" is probably the most beautiful and elegant design I've seen in a LONG while ... and I'm on the Net 12 - 16 hours a day ...
I just sat there for 10 mins or so just looking at it ... smiling :o)
Very, very nice.
Do you design for other people ...?
I've got a b2 blog that needs an inspired touch to it ... let me know ...
