Just finished up a redesign of a friends site for his buggy, The Pit Viper.

I implemented valid XHTML code, and added some meta data so that the site is more search engine friendly. I broke up the text into separate headings so it would be easier to read.

I used fancybox to punch up the photo gallery at the bottom. I also took advantage of some CSS3 for some transition effects on the links, and rounded corners on the image borders.

They are great for mapping out ideas, and making wire frames for web designs. That’s why I decided to make a dry erase board of my own.

Lowes Home Improvement sells a 48″ by 32″ tile board for $10 that makes a good dry erase board. A dry erase board the same size from Staples costs around $40. Lowes also sells the same material in a 4′ by 8′ sheet, which I will eventually deck out my entire kitchen with.

Here is a picture of the dry erase board in use, forgive my sloppy hand writing.

Everything you see here is completely CSS. Thanks to Dan Cederholm of simplebits and his book Bullet Proof Web Design for inspiration. The site is only half done, but I should have the rest of it completed in a few days.

Well for my county, school starts this week. That means more work for me and the rest of the IT staff. I think I’ll turn both my cell phones off.
