Dear fellow webmasters,

As I may have said b4, most of the sites we are being asked to review look pretty much like "out of the box" software - either copied off of somewhere else or from templates.

I present to you a wonderful resource site featuring code that you can copy and paste as well as working examples. Say hello to: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/

Check it out, if you lack time to come up with something original, use it, and let's get our sites looking better.

Note to Zahymaka (cos I know he will always find something along the lines of "yeah, I know this is out there, but I choose to use my own, ", to say ), please don't say anything "antagonistic"

Thanks,

Why do you hate me that much my2cents ?

Personally, I use templates -- but not copy-and-paste. I feel very bad when I put up a site and someone says, 'Ah, you copied the design of so-and-so.com.'

I usually set out with a template I like [it might be crafted with tables] and try to duplicate the look with pure divs, or alternately, set out with a 'copy-and-paste' template, and tweak here and there. At the end, I come up with something entirely different from what I was trying to 'copy.'

Nice site, by the way my2cents -- I'll add it to my list and do some copying in future.

Zahy, that is what you should strive to do

Finally, a nice reply I don't hate you sha. I just was asking that you don't make your response "antagonistic (remember, you told me that yourself )". I know you are always spinning on your eyebrows trying to do that LOL

I won't deny I'm not relieved. I thought you were going to label my last post as antagonistic. If you look at my site, I got different ideas from different places.

www.alistapart.com

www.meyerweb.com

http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/

are some of the sites I prowl.

Examining my blog and my book site, I used the 'sliding doors' technique for those rounded borders. Can't remember where I picked that all-CSS dropdown from but well . . .
