Yesterday, a lot of good people lost their jobs (my own fate is still up in the air). It was, as one would suspect, a far from pleasant experience.

Although css-discuss was originally started to help out all practitioners of CSS, the tolerance level for newbie questions over the past year has grown quite low. As a result (and possible due to some other factors), a new list called css-foundations has been created to help those new to the wonderful world of style sheets.

Many of you CSS aficionados reading this probably first heard about my site through my three-column layout. Although I maintain a list of NN4-compatable layouts, the css-discuss Wiki has an excellent, well documented list of open-source, CSS-based, three-column layouts. Of course, the Wiki also has other gems, too, so poke around.

On another list (WebDesign-L), Eric A. Meyer (co-founder of css-discuss) posted an excellent little JavaScript tool for get the hex number for colours in a specified range. Following-up that, Holly Marie posted a link to a great collection of colour tools all found at EasyRGB.

While on the topic of CSS and Eric A. Meyer, he headed a redesign on Netscape’s DevEdge using the former and wrote a good article about it, too.
