Crystallisation

Last night as I was drift­ing off to sleep I remem­ber think­ing ‘That’ll make a great arti­cle for my weblog.’ Wish I could remem­ber what the idea was…
Any­way, I’m work­ing on some behind the scene things. Cur­rent­ly this is most­ly new CSS work, and it is com­ming togeth­er slow­ly. When I’m done this page your read­ing will be result of one html file and three (3) css files.
Why three?
This is where the pow­er of the cas­cade comes in.
The first file will be the lay­out, basi­cal­ly things like ‘the links bar goes on the left, the page head­er goes at the top, font face and size’.
The sec­ond file will be the col­or for all the ele­ments, ‘pur­ple hilight, grey back­ground, bright yel­low links’.
The third file will be the stuff that is per­cu­liar to the blog mark.
Once all this is done every page on my site can fit with­in the same lay­out, but have dif­fer­ent col­or scheems depend­ing on the sec­tion… sounds good in the­o­ry, get­ting it to work just takes time to make sure I’ve put every­thing in the right place.
