CSS Wonderland

The CSS has been somewhat of a Frankenstein's monster in the Web design history. The horribly variating support from the major browser players made me look for easier solutions in the past. However, the amount of HTML source code required for even simple things was starting to slow sites down - especially when you're working with a dynamically generated site.

When graphics designers sent me some quite unrealistic layouts it was time to pull out some heavier reinforcements and start learning the CSS properly. Other great source for inspiration has been the CSS Zen Garden which was a real eye-opener.

Now that I've crossed the mental barrier it's been amazing to find out how much faster it is to write semantical HTML source code and use CSS for the eye-candy.
