Notes and jottings
I came across an article which explains how to create boxes in web pages. Specifically boxes with round corners.
Adding fluid borders to your box
This article explains how it is possible to create rounded corners without the use of images.
Interesting eh!
One other aspect of CSS is its use in the preparation of formatted (html) EMAIL

Microsoft has launched its new version of the Internet Explorer Browser: IE7. Far from being greeted with adulation, its arrival on the web gave rise to widespread fear and loathing. We downloaded it to see what all the fuss was about. We also have IE6 which is used for testing sites in the old version.
We are told that some sites would fall apart in the new IE7 - happily we have not noticed any problems with our web sites (so far!).
This article discusses why problems occur with web sites in IE7 and how to fix them
Internet Explorer Version 7 - were you ready?
Actually we are enthusiastic users of Mozilla Firefox! The new version of IE7 changes the layout of the tools and is more difficult to use - but hey its what you’r used to, as they say. There is not much that is new - it’s just rearranging the deckchairs. The main new thing is the introduction of tabs rather than having to open new windows.
Netscape and Mozilla pioneered tabs as a way of switching easily between web pages. Microsoft realised how useful this technique is and followed suit.
One noval feature is that you can see thumbnails of all the tabs you have open - just in case you have so many you have forgotted which one is which.
The web is about words
I am a great believer in the “content is king” school of web design. I found a blog about web design and from there I found a link to a web site about typography. I like this web page, it does something for me 
Having nailed my colours to the mast and put my head on the line — I just know someone is going to start correcting my spelling mistakes (i.e. typographical errors). I have a good knowledge of spelling and typography (I used to work as a typesetter before computers were invented) … but I have to admit I am not a good typist. I type too fast and my eye sight is not so good. But I am working at a rate at which I don’t take the time to proof read what I have done.
Having said all that - I so hate seeing spelling mistakes and typographical errors on web pages - especially my own!
