about me;
Designing text-heavy layouts really takes no time at all because the Photoshop time is severly cut down. But I kind of like how it goes; the site really seem to have more of a purpose with a lot of text. Like, you can expect quality CONTENT.
But of course, the coding time takes a while longer, especially due to cross-browser issues with the margin and padding. Ugh.

about the layout; 3 comments
You know, I always thought that blog style layouts were cool. Even though they were dominated by text, they still managed to keep one's interest due to the innovative, clean designs. Well, I thought I'd have a shot at making one of them, and include that cool calender style date that I've seen around. I really like those for some reason. So yup, this layout is completely dedicated to the text, so use it for a blog site or another such text-heavy website.
requirements
I'm just giving you this box for any notes you want to stand out, and maybe for comments or such. link
This layout uses an external stylesheet, and is recommended for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera at 800x600 resolution or higher.
how to personalize
- Once you download the .zip file, you need to extract it using a program like WinZip.
- There should be an index.html file in the main directory, a .css file, and a folder for images
- Open up the index.html file, and open the source in Notepad or another text editing program (usually you can right click and in the menu that appears, 'View Source' for IE and 'View Page Source' for Firefox)
- Edit the source according to the comments, which are anything within a !-- bracketed statement
- Save the file in the same place, with the same name
- That's it! Any additional pages follow the same format as this page. Of course, if you encounter difficulties while following my instructions, feel free to e-mail me.
