Unfortunately for splash pages, the Internet is not like a street crammed with storefronts. In that sort of situation, yes, you may want to have a big, colorful sign outisde to grab people's attention. It would make far less sense to have that sign inside, though--but that's what a splash page is. People are already in your front door. They don't want to see some big graphic that doesn't tell them anything, they want content! Anyway, some people like splash pages and some people don't--I am obviously one of the latter. However, it is your personal page, and if you want to have a splash page there, go for it. As for CSS, here a few sites to get you started... [url=http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/]css-edge[/url] - some nifty tutorials, etc. Check out the resources, too, for more links [url=http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/]The Layout Reservoir[/url] - from BlueRobot. This is great for playing around and learning the ropes. They give you the layouts, you plug in the content. Once you get the hang of it, you can do your own (or modify theirs). [url=http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/]CSS2 Specification[/url] - from W3C. If you're into this sort of thing, it can be a great resource. You might want to wait until you've tried out some tutorials, etc., because it can be a bit overwhelming at first. Oh, yes, you should also make sure to stop by [url=http://www.webstandards.org/]The Web Standards Project[/url]. If you're going to be designing with CSS, you will definitely want to add this to your resource list. Good luck, and have fun! Loading...
