What Am I Looking At?

29 October 2002

I’m not entirely certain what the point of this is. Here’s my take on it:

People have designed weblogs and websites using CSS (cascading style sheets) and they’ve eliminated tables. Someone put together an ’index’ of all of those sites using the design you see. That ’index’ site went away and Meryl has resurrected it.

Here’s where it gets fuzzy for me. Clicking on any of the links takes you to a web site that meets the criteria – no tables, all CSS. So what? What can I do with that information?

Can I see the CSS? I can view source and see the HTML, but not the stylesheet. I can’t copy those designs. Can I use them to develop new designs?

My questions aren’t critical; they’re out of ignorance. How can a designer take advantage of this index? Regardless of my ignorance, I’m glad Meryl pulled this back together.
