Wow! this is the jerry springer of website forum threads. Being a highly effective electronic communicator, I am able to use my extra sensory powers to deduct that if you both meet halfway, you'll realize you're both right. I view design and functionality as equals in any development philosophy, one cannot succeed without the other. If you were to marry DaveyBoy and Suzanne, you'd have some great looking, highly functional website babies.

Nope, not a good idea. That would be a disaster on my part.

Just that you come up with a photoshop layout and I'll try to interpret it. But maybe not a good idea, lol.

What do y'all think about this Zen so far?
It's a work in progress.

Wonder if it is time to start a Zen thread?

I am such a dummy. I thought the flower that I used on the page above was a rose. It's a tulip.

Suzanne, need a guinea pig?

Er... I'm afraid to say yes, lol... What on earth would I get?

The code is probably fat, lol, to take into consideration all the possibilities. You want to make a design and see if I can force it into the CSS? lol...

I'm thinking of doing a stylesheet for the Zen Garden. There are really crazy designs in there! So cool, so cool. It spawned a discussion about semantic markup (it has many spans in there that aren't strictly necessary) on a number of blogs-of-that-ilk. If anyone's interested, I can pass along the urls if you're not already familiar with the types of blogs that get into the nitty gritty of upcoming standards and markup opportunities.

Could everyone please stop baiting each other, please? No more personal attacks or otherwise picking on one individual etc.. I've had to clean a few things up in this thread and I really hate having to do that. Thanks.
