So, yeah, with the help of Style Master, a sweet CSS editor developed by by WestCiv, I’ve quickly created this theme that’s more aligned with the look and feel of my portfolio site. Style Master is an awesome tool, especially for those new to the world of CSS. It auto validates, tells you which browsers support what, has a handy GUI approach to CSS for those who hesitate to hand code and it has an impressive (if sometimes a tad slow to load) live preview so you can actually see what’s happening. I highly recommend it. Your CSS skills will get better. It’s a tad expensive (IMO) to purchase your first license, but the update price and the special 2 seat license (which allows a license for Mac and a license for PC – how cool is that?) are good values. This is not paid or requested marketing for WestCiv, I’m just enthusiastic of this great product that has made my web design life easier.
I know I’ve talked about adding additional graphic elements to the site but now I’m thinking maybe I won’t. I kind of like the empty space and I think further graphic elements may become more distracting than useful to the presentation. If I do add a graphic tweak, it will be nice and subtle.
