A while back in 2007 I decided to redesign my website. I got into a discussion with a designer friend of mine, and I said "I want to create the same way I used to, with tables" - which is to say: I want to slice and dice in Photoshop and build the website up completely on a graphical appearance and whereever the graphics are in Photoshop, that's exactly how I want them... BUT without tables, using CSS.
He replied "It's not that easy... there are different rules." So away I went learning CSS and spent far, far more time on the learning, than the actual Photoshopping. Consequently, it looks a bit old school, but in the end, I did get exactly what I had created in Photoshop, precisely. The thing I do not understand however, is... sometimes when I use my template (all the site pages are essentially the same layout) - at times my text "wanders" outside of my graphic boundary. And, if I add too much text, it forces my bottom graphics downward. What I miss about HTML tables was the fact that the table could "grow" with the amount of text... which I guess is now vertical float... but I've not mastered the concept of how to fix a header, and make a content area float ... all the while having background images. I guess I need to see some other very graphic-heavy CSS designs. The whole thing is, undoubtedly a bit old school, but at times the style still comes in handy.
