I decided to make use of the space in the header to make note of my struggles in dealing with cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-whatever-else difficulties in the time that I spend designing for the web.
The title takes its inspiration from how much of this wordpress theme has been about keeping the floats together. It’s not hard, really, but it’s not particularly intuitive either, particularly when I was experimenting with an earlier layout/design idea which was somewhat more demanding.
In my eagerness to get this done, I’ve settled down for something fairly simple and, hopefully, clean. I borrowed some code for the overall layout and the left navigation from the excellent website of Stuart Nicholls, CSSPlay.
The images for the header and the background at the bottom come from one of my favorite stock exchange photography websites, SXC. The font in the header is FH Nicole , which is free for personal (which I think translates to non-commercial in this context) use. Everything else, if anything is standard, however, if there is any interest at all in this design as a wordpress theme, then drop me a line here, I’ll be happy to work that out. As the theme stands now, I wouldn’t want it in front of a nose that is not mine.
