Hi gdf'ers,

I've just unveiled by very first pure css/xhtml valid site. It's a blog and a bit of a showcase. A place to stretch the creative muscles, if you will, as well as a good excuse to learn some more advanced web stuff.

This is version 1. Plans for version 2 are already underway, and I haven't finished ver 1 yet.

I've tested it on a variety of browsers, but I'd really appreciate any feedback you can give me. Does it look right? Does everything line up? For reference, check the site in firefox (which you really should be using anyways)...

Thanks in advance,

Flashlight I congratulate you. Outstanding job with creating a blog its definitely something to be proud of. Maybe now you can teach me how to do it.

I love to see the growth of Designers as I see concepts being executed and new ideas being turned out. I really love what you wrote and in a sense that is my too. I am almost cool I really like that.

And if your really interested I’ll slip you a $20 and maybe we can even be friends. lol

Graphic Design Heroes! Call me Captain Type Caster. I’ve fought off “The Evil Cosmic Sans” for year but it seems “Dr. Extreme Untalent” keeps bringing him back. I must find a way to defeat this evil creature.

Capt. Creative bring me those comps…
