Have a banana. Have another. A random generator of stylesheets. Some are interesting, others...well.

I should be working on my CSS assignment, but am instead surfing around, hoping to crib some nice styles off websites.

  • Shithouse!!
  • I think nostril means to suggest that, if you want to pass your assignment, you should look somewhere other than the banana site for ideas. Use a color picker to get a color scheme with a few complementary colors. (On that one, I like to use the colors from the analogic option with the pastel or dark pastel variation on a white or very light colored background, but you can easily experiment on your own.) The layout you use depends entirely on your content and target audience so I can't suggest anything for that.
  • This is a good demo of CSS. But where's a good place to learn about it? I've done all my HTML by hand since I can remember, but CSS isn't something I've tried yet.
  • here
  • Ooo, don't forget the CSS Zen Garden. Lots of nice stylesheets there to get the creative juices flowing.
  • I am teaching CSS to my students today. Here are the resources I give them. Overview:webmonkey. A little out of date, but still got the goods. layout: blueRobot, glish and the noodleincedent And my personal fav, a list apart. oh yes, w3schools (noted in previous post) is quite good too. ooh also csszengarden
  • I've never heard of blueRobot before now. Thanks for the link schadenfreude. You might add 456 Berea Street to your list; it has always been helpfull to me.
  • Thank you, guys :) I've actually got at least five or six sites to go to for guides, that our lecturer thoughtfully put up on the uni server; among them, of course, are the W3C guides and Zen Garden. I actually was using Strange Bananas to crib certain specific codes, such as the block colors around the navigation text and so on.
