After a failed attempt earlier this spring, I finally got around to pimping out my profile a little. Just enough to count as a layer of make-up. Ironic, seeing how that's a big part of being on SpaceHey in the first place, and I'm a web designer by trade. Could have used one of the many premade layouts, but eh. At least these five lines of CSS are all me:
body { background-color: antiquewhite; }main { background-color: seashell; color: darkslategray; }ul.links { border-width: 0.5ex 0; border-style: groove; Font-weight: bold; }.right .heading { box-shadow: 0.5ex 0.5ex 0.5ex tan; }.contact, .url-info, .table-section { box-shadow: 0.5ex 0.5ex 0.5ex tan; }
Seriously, that's all it takes to make the various boxes pop a little. Conversely, it's hard to do much more without peppering your code with lots of !important declarations. Hardly good practice. Generally the markup isn't very friendly to custom CSS. Oh well, at least you only have to worry about CSS. And people make some cool designs even so.
Try it if you haven't already. Pro tip: right click then Inspect Element is your friend. Have fun!

I haven't writen any html in over a decade. Time to go looking through some old books. In the mean time the layouts folk put up are fun.

Yes they are, but I made my own anyway, even if it's simplistic compared to most.

Ack, I meant to comment on this some time ago, but it kept slipping my mind. I love your layout, though! So pretty and easy on the eyes.
