We all need idols to look up to, especially when we only can claim graphic design as a hobby and are still only in high school. And yes, I believe I have found one! Shaun Inman takes a beautiful site design, applies standards-compliancy, and mixes in a pinch of special effects and backwards compatibility.

You have got to check out his site as well as his CSS Zen Garden creation (make sure you have a current good browser, again, like Opera or Firefox). I have to openly admit to almost directly applying some of the concepts from the CSS code to my new experimental style, organic full. And yes, it still is slightly broken as of this post… woops.

Anyways, just thought I’d let you know of this designer, if anyone else out there is looking for someone to follow, go for this guy! Thanks Shaun!

Quick Summary:
So you’ve heard all about these new web technologies, including one called CSS. Read on to find out how and why Cascading Style Sheets are going to be the savior of your site.

Some people have waaaaaaaaaay to much time on their hands. Dean Edwards decided that IE needed to become standards-compliant. Awesome, great goal! We’d love it! But we would expect it to come from Microsoft. Not someone with free time. However, it appears that Mr. Edwards has spent the time to come up with a combination of CSS and DHTML code that allows IE to fix the box model, use advanced selectors, and fix many other fun bugs that IE has. It isn’t quite finished yet, but Edward’s site explains his thinking along with some code pretty well.
Wow. Let’s just use Opera BTW, a new article is coming today on CSS! Hooray!
