Rodent Regatta

The look of stationery on a desk!

Look at this page and notice the drop shadow around the edge. Then, look at Scripting News. You can see a similar effect at Dane’s site - without the shadow. Meryl’s is similar as is Mena’s.
Something tells me the shadow is not doable using CSS. No one said that – I just don’t see any of the CSS sites with drop shadows. Don’t know why – don’t really care – it’s just my ”incurably inquisitive” state that makes me want to know!
Anyhow, here’s the crux of the matter. Beginning sometime tomorrow (without upstreaming) I’m going to try to use Paolo’s Remote Edit Tool and create a new look (theme?) for this weblog by Monday. I can barely spell HTML though I’ve been diggin’ deep. We’ll see if I can figure out how to do this stuff. On one hand, I dread the agony of defeat if my meager HTML knowledge fails me. On the other, I’m looking forward to accomplishing this. All tips (i.e. suggestions) appreciated.
