You can do this by cheating a bit with the background, see

I've used this trick for my personal website ;)

Could it be the Faux Columns method?
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/

How do the rest of you handle that? 

Do you have a blog? Blogmarks. That way i can keep track of interesting
links while sharing them with the world.

Other people will suggest surely a service like http://del.icio.us/ or
plain old bookmarks :)

No it wasn't that one Mordechai, but it's a terrific article.   That's a
fantastic resource.  And it can build your styles automatically too!!
Thanks for finding it.

I never fail to be astonished  at the worthwhile and downright practical
ideas coming from this list, day after day. 

Thanks again!

I have a wiki on my site, so that I can categorize and annotate my
bookmarks. It's become a huge organic sprawling beast in less than a
year, but *so* useful.

On an almost completely unrelated and off-topic topic, I find it
interesting that the word Favourites has never become as popular as
Bookmarks, even amongst casual non-technical users, despite the fact
that IE has like 110% market share. I guess it's because you can't use
favourite a link, whereas you can certainly bookmark it.

Hey Kay

 I have a wiki on my site, so that I can categorize and annotate my
 bookmarks. It's become a huge organic sprawling beast in less than a
 year, but *so* useful.

The resources section of the WSG site is meant to be just this type of
beast (http://webstandardsgroup.org/resources/) except that is nice 
public and administrable by all WSG memebers.

Come on guys - lets make it a worth while resouce!


Cheers

Mark

Good point, there may be hope for standards yet.
