A few weeks ago I was looking at making some improvements to my default stylesheet with regards to nested unordered lists and nested ordered lists. I didn’t want the same bullet style (list-style) for each successively nested list.

I’ll be the first to admit that I submitted Aloe to these sites myself, but it’s cool to see my new site in these showcase galleries. CSS Based gave me a 7 out of 10, which I really can’t disagree with – my humble little site looks a bit plain next to all the others, [...]

Interesting timing for my first post.
Ahmed at TechSoapBox has reported that CSSVault.com was sold to HostGator for one hundred thousand dollars. Not a bad deal for the seller. CSS Vault has a PR of 9 and an Alexa rank of 22214 at the time of writing – so this could be a good buy for [...]
