Change

I spent most of Saturday reading up on Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, as they're better known. If you've never spent time tinkering with a web page, and have no idea what that means, you're likely to find this as interesting to read about as it would be to write about, I'm sure — so let's just say it's a technique that offers a degree of creative control over the appearance of a web page.

I'm at a point where this is only beginning to not seem completely, utterly overwhelming. At a glance, it all still looks like an impenetrable form of computer programming — but it uses (mostly) plain language (though it all has to be presented in a particular format) and for someone like me, who works in design, the concepts are familiar, at least.

That minor change? At the top of the page? It took me about two hours to puzzle out how it was done, by examining the code on another page, and relying on trial and error. I have a few other adjustments I'd like to try, but this is a start.
