I'm doing a project in-house here where I'm trying to use as much of these CSSzengarden concepts as I can.  This is a learning exercise on what will be a low use internal application so not load tested in any way.  I am really enjoying the experience.  It makes me want to go and rebuild every website and application I've built in the last 7 years.


The one trick I've been using is to build my content in pure HTML with using no layout tables (except for tabular data) no styles and minimal layout first.  Basically a black and white page with all the content running down the left side.  I then block up the content into logical sections and start applying the styles to get the desired layout.  It takes a lot of nesting of <div>'s with a smattering of <span>'s around your basic <h1>s, <h2>s, <p>s, <ul>s, <ol>s, ect.


I've also loved that I have found that holy grail of layout design, the multi column expandable layout for any amount of content in any column.  Got to love it.
