Two columns in the content of a Blog post on WordPress, Moveable Type, Textpattern or other CMS application? Authors had to physically split the text and mark the separation of columns manually. But now…

Can 960.gs Save The Day? Intelligent-Interest
The GRID system in CSS is almost everywhere. Most large sites use it to squeeze advertising into blocks that run for miles up the sides. The Grid system was actually a way to harmonize creative site design as the missing connection between website design in Photoshop and other graphic programs and code like CSS and Forms used by Blog software like Textpattern and WordPress.
But can it help a first-time user in a pinch?

Too Much Space Under H1 in CSS For-Webmasters
Cascading Style Sheets are the lovely way to help design websites and no one has made a satisfactory answer-all book to help with the little details. In encountering a little problem with the H1 Header, I found the simple solution that controls the space above and below the Header text. Below is the code for the default appearance of a Header between two lines of regular text.

Nifty Little Pics Articles-About-This-Site
EDIT It’s a year later and here I am revamping the entire site once again. I’m using a blogging software called Textpattern which has a very shallow learning curve and is easy for anyone already familiar with HTML code.
The funny thing is that I find myself revamping the site in 2007 trying very hard to approach a design I made up in the beginning of 2006. The icons below were actually designed for a blog-like Dinarius.com at the beginning of 2006 when the first CSS-like design turned out to be too tough for me to keep up in HTML.
So whatever the outcome (this is the first transferred article) the info may still pertain to what you’re searching for and if you too are a graphic designer turned webmaster, I feel your pain. All “Articles About This Site” may interest you; so check that category! – BryanA.
8.31 – In a new attempt to not type too much and conserve some energy for fixing computers and getting stuck in traffic, brevity is paramount. “Favicon” That’s the little thing that appears when a page is, “Added To Favorites.” With the arrival of Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) many file types will be valid. Currently, the file extension is .ico
In refurbishing our own icons, we got a surprise. DIGG.com is the foremost authority on popular recommendations. A search in ‘All Digg’ for ‘favicon’ revealed one tiny result. Ironically, searching for icons revealed a DIGG competitor still in BETA. Oddly, BlinkList acts a lot like your Favorites list. You can save sites you’ve seen in the blink of an eye but have no time for.
Searching favicons at Google turned up Joe’s BlinkList. Go figure. More popular gets more blinks: An HTML kit gets top rank – we saw it, but didn’t bite; No.2 is HTMLbasix delivering generic information and mean-spirited popups hence, no link; No.3 actually just refers to FavIcon.co.UK which turns out to add another goodie.
Favicons can be 16×16 pixels and 32×32 pixels depending on their use. The Header Tag will contain two “link ref” elements as follows:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"><link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">Drum roll… Best icon maker at the push of a button. Could it be that easy? Sure; Dynamic Drive even allows you to put the maker on your site. Good idea, eh? ;) Thanks for reading while we revamped our catagories.
