CSS, Blogging, and WinForms...

After spending some time updating the UI for this blog, I have renewed my love for Cascading Syle Sheets(CSS).  

I havent done much ASP.NET in a while, so my DHTML and CSS skills have waned over the past two years.   Since this .TEXT weblog engine doesnt support uploadable skins, I decided to use the very powerful features offered by custom CSS.  The result is what you see on this blog.

None of this is rocket science, but I have to admit I enjoyed activating those dormant brain cells floating around in my grey matter. 

Having fought and lost many battles to design good looking Windows applications,  I look forward to the future of Longhorn when we will have similar capeabilities for WinForms.

For you .TEXT users, this layout uses the “Hover” template along with a good amount of custom CSS.  The CSS is inserted by adding styles to the “Custom CSS Selectors“ box from the “Configure” option on the “Options” tab of the admin site.
