CSS again

So, I apparently can't leave well enough alone. I rewrote most of the HTML that drives this website to use <div ...> sections and semi-proper semantic markup (where possible), and came up with a quickie stylesheet for the whole mess. The end result is actually something I'm fairly happy with; it still has some rough edges, but considering I'm finally calling it a night on this version at 2:45 AM, I think I can forgive a few minor problems. At least it validates as proper XHTML 1.0 and CSS, with no warnings, so I can sleep well knowing that it's standards-compliant, and renders pretty much the same in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, and appears to be readable in both Lynx and ELinks. I'll check on the Linux laptop tomorrow, which also has Opera installed.

As an aside, I'm loving Pyblosxom's "flavors" capability. It made building and testing a completely new website using the old content a breeze; just whip up a new set of flavor templates, and modify to your heart's content. In fact, the RSS feed RSS that Pyblosxom generates is just another flavor. Spiffy stuff.
