cssZenGarden themeThe CSS Zen Garden is a great resource to check what is possible with CSS based design. Dave Shea is the man behind this great idea to bring together all CSS lovers to show their talent. It is also a good source of inspiration to see the evidence that how wonderfully CSS based design can separate the content from the presentation without touching the HTML markup. I personally believe that CSS Zen Garden is extremely helpful to reveal the value of principles as why we should throw out the table based design. I guess it must be also helping the clients to expect their websites should look as good as the cssZenGarden submissions :) .

Finally I got done with my own design submission; design is called “Dodo”. It has not been approved so far but you can see it live in action. Some of the associated graphics are used from Deviant Art.

    I must say that your cssZenGarden submmission is superb! Your design looks good including the typography sense and appropriate pictures which indicates the moral of the story about use of CSS. It’s really inspiring to me Inspired Buddy :-)

    I’m new to css and frankly this “inspired buddy” is one of the best css designs I’ve seen. is there a possibility to download the css and html file. I will give you credit for sure if I use it–it’s a class above, and I could really learn from it.
    thanks

    Thanks for your kind words.

    I am happy to know that there can be many things for you too leran from my blog design :-)

    This CSS/XHTML design has been developed as a WordPress (www.wordpress.org) theme, and I have not decided yet to make it available for public. However you can download a free wordpress theme I have designed: http://www.inspiredbuddy.com/wordpress-themes/a-simple-and-clean-wordpress-theme-for-everyone/

    Still if you want then go ahead and download the XHTML/CSS on your end. Let me know if you have any further concerns :-)
