Getting ready to rumble...

Once you get familiar with it, CSS offers you a high level of control over how your web site is displayed. However, the key words in the previous sentence are: "Once you get familiar with it...". The WackoWiki that I've become partial to in recent months comes with a couple of extra 'skins' that are heavily CSS based, and last night, after finishing my translation load for the day and cleaning the office a bit, I spent a bit of time trying to understand how the various definitions are reflected on the screen, because if the truth be told, the default skin is pretty boring.

Be that as it may, a boring interface is something that I'll have to live with for a while, as I must concentrate on finishing the paper chase (yes, I know: Not Really Feasible In Our Lifetime™) and in the short term -- i.e., by tomorrow morning -- I've got to do six more extracts, check the entire lot of 13, finish the masonry specification, and send the translations back where they belong.

As I write, the ESPN Tour de France site (which will probably cease to exist Real Soon Now™) reports that the peleton has moved 70 km... sorry, make that 83 km (updates are well done, as is the entire site)... of the overall 110 km in today's final stage. Barring something entirely off-the-wall, Armstrong will win -- and win big -- thus becoming the only rider in the history of the event to win it six times.

But talking about the number six, that's exactly the number of documents I have left to translate for the day. I had best get on them.

Cheers...

Yes, I noted it in a post here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/alexpgp/621157.html). If I hadn't visited that site, I probably wouldn't have considered the idea of modifying my site's appearance via CSS.

Thanks for the reference. :^)
