If you have played with any of the ASP.NET design templates that I have posted on earlier, you will probably have noticed that this site uses one of those. This has worked well for me in the fact that I have absolutely no graphic design skills whatsoever. On top of that an added benefit is that the design templates are built with XHTML and CSS. This site for the most part will usually validate unless I happen to screw it up. Since all of my older content came from SharePoint, I have had to fix each entry manually to make it comply. Unfortunately, I have only made it through the most recent 100 entries or so.

This site uses a Jello Mold as described on PositionIsEverything.net. I have found that it works pretty well, but there are a few issues in Internet Explorer that will cause the site to mess up. The Jello Mold attempts to set a minimum width via a hack, but it doesn't completly work. That is why if you make the browser to narrow, the content will jump to the bottom. The other issue I have is when using the pre tag, if the content is too long, it will also cause the content to jump to the bottom. Firefox handles this fine, but it doesn't necessarily look good either.

Again, if you are interested in design templates, look at my past postings at the link below.
