ben wilson This is the blog of a one Ben Wilson, a Louisville, Kentucky native who enjoys baseball, beer, music, bikes, things that fly and good food. By day he pushes pixels and makes the Internet happen for a local advertising agency. His wife, Kelly is an Ironman, and his baby Amelia is the cutest thing ever.

Well, if you haven’t noticed (or you are blind, which if you are, sorry), I invoked the site-design goddess, and she showed me the way to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). What the foul wench unfurled was hideous! Hideous i tell you!

Style sheets are essentially rules that govern how text, tables, images, etc. are layed out and appear on a web page. I created one for the whole site, and now it looks very much the same across the board. I know it looked like that before, but now I can changed the color scheme by adjusting one setting, not dozens!

So, style sheets are a good thing, right? Well, yes and no. Style sheets are good, but differences between browsers are not. Take a look at this site with both browsers. Different? Yep. IE and Netscape treat a lot of things differently, and it was a Herculean struggle to get them to work right.

But, i prevailed. Oh, and that Login box up there. It doesn’t work just yet. You just wait. Oh, and I added WebTrendsLive tracking software to the site, too. So, if you want to view info on this site (page visits, etc.) in a bevy of different colors and graphs and charts, look at the bottom of the page for the WebTrends link, or click here.

So, enjoy the site y’all.

  1. Ok buddy. Style sheets are cool, yeah, you proved your point. Now, bring back the white background. Foreground is up to you. Make it happen.
