Looking Funky
I'm just on my way out of work and I checked my page in Internet Explorer. It's looking pretty awful there. Darnit. Looks like I have some work to do... *sigh*

Can Tables Be Eliminated?
It's been made very clear that the future of webpage layout is CSS, but there is a lot that can be done with tables that I don't quite see CSS's part in. Primarily right now I'm thinking about graphics that are exported as a number of smaller graphics and then held together with a table. Now, I guess that a web developer with their foot planted firmly in the future would say that that is just a terrible situation anyway and shouldn't be done. Nonetheless, it is the standard method of doing such things on the web today and most importantly, it works. It seems, in my mind, that even a total surrender to CSS will require tables to do a lot of the duck-tape and chicken-wire things that they have been called on to do for so long.

Playing with CSS
I'm playing with Cascading Style Sheets today and using my weblog as a test subject. I'm sure that things will be disappearing and reappearing all day.
