ntent with Style - A CSS Framework In my Modular CSS article I documented the possibility of breaking down stylesheets into components that could be reused across projects. All well and good. The next logical step is to extend this to become a CSS framework, allowing rapid development of sites with pre-written and tested components. Who is this for? If you've been creating sites with CSS for a while you may be getting frustrated with having to recreate and retest basic layouts on a regular basis. How many layouts are there? Well, loads but the majority of them fall into rough groups. Vertical navigation with one content column Vertical navigation with two columns of content Horizontal navigation with one content column Horizontal navigation with 2 columns of content Horizontal navigation with local navigation and one column of content Horizontal navigation with local navigation and 2 columns of content These 6 cover most of the blogs out there and most of the corporate sites as well. What are the common elements? <!

CSS Tip: Get Any Font You Want CSS Tip: Get Any Font You Want by Larisa Thomason, Senior Web Analyst, NetMechanic, Inc. Have your heart set on using a particular font on your site? If your page requires an unusual font, you can embed it with a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). Why Use Embedded Fonts? Because a font is an operating system resource, not a browser resource. From a page designer's perspective, this is a big weakness. That's where embedded fonts come in: with them, you don't have to worry about browsers defaulting to a more common font.
