If you were to give the div a structurally/functionally related name, it would be something like "content" or "updates" or something of that sort. The whole idea behind css was to separate content/structure from presentation--HTML is a structural markup language, and thus should define the page structure, not it's presentation (that's where CSS comes in). The practical advantage to this is that if, at some point in the future, you decide to rearrange the elements on your page, you won't have to go through and rename all your divs, and you won't get confused about what goes where. And it's just generally considered good practice. Geez, I sound like a perfect little Zeldmanite running around here... __________ *When I say "structure" I mean "information structure," not "physical structure" (which would basically be presentation). __________ As for the site itself, not much to add to what's been said above. To be honest with you, I'm not too crazy about the color scheme (monochrome with straight red and blue), and my anal retentive self is also not too happy with the differently colored links. I generally like consistency in that area, unless you've get text on variously colored backgrounds and you need to change link color for readability purposes. That doesn't seem to be the case here, though. ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] Loading...
