Essential Design

Live at last!

Welcome. This site is mostly a test site for designs. This site uses no tables, except for the MT calendar. It should also work in any browser and on any reasonable screen size (obviously it won't look very good in a five-pixel wide screen).

This design and all the samples in the links column have been done using the exact same template. Only the CSS changes. Although this has been designed for the MT blog, a similar design can be done any blogs, and even for regular web sites.

I'll be doing some fancier CSS in the future, and some different templates, but if you browse around the samples I have up now you'll see how much even simple changes in just the CSS can change the look of a site.

What I've asked on my main blog is for people to come test the pages so I can fine-tune. I've tested in all the browsers I have, and I am using valid XHTML and CSS, but I may need to work around browser bugs, so I would very much like to know if this site causes any! If you've come here directly, I'd also like to ask you to browse around and let me know if you find anything buggy. Thank you.

I do not have either Konquerer or MSIE 6 and get hits from both on my main site, so I'd really appreciate comments from people running those browsers, and since I'm on a PC, from anyone using Mac or UNIX versions of any browser. Thanks!

Last test post

This blog isn't here. Really. It's all in your imagination. However, this blog will be here tomorrow or the next day. So, if you happened upon it by accident, or by following me back here through your site meter, do come back in a day or two. There will be some real stuff here then.

About ready to roll out

Just doing a few more posts for testing purposes.

Here is a nice sentence that I can repeat endlessly for testing purposes.

Doing trackbacks and comments with myself... how egotistical can one get?
