A few new CSS things to look at this fine morn­ing (all cour­tesy of email being down — I like monday morn­ings like this one)

Some nice new sites, some of which are minging though. I really don’t get the whole rich, wall­pa­per back­ground image, looks like the smoking room in ‘The Butchers’, design thing. It’s not big or clever. I’m talk­ing about http://www.alazanto.org/

It turns out CSS Vault is either a. Not going to be here soon or b. Going to be run by people out­side of the 9rules net­work. Shame. Although I can see his point.

Ver­sion 2 is a great idea. I think after the wed­ding i’m going to enter this com­pet­i­tion, I think i’d have a good chance of get­ting somewhere.

Sim­ilar to CSS Vault. high­lights for me — http://www.instablog.org/. This is great. Purely typo­graphic. Design like a news­pa­per. I bit down and dirty with the CSS, with a few bugs, but oth­er­wise really nice.
