I really like this blog (http://www.plasticbag.org/)- does anyone know how it is done? I have emailed the author, but he is not replying....

I have had a look at the source code, and cant find anything - there is the following:

// Copyright (c) 1996-1997 Athenia Associates.
// http://www.webreference.com/js/

But nothing there. I am using Wordpress at the moment, but looking for a change.

Cheers
John

Xhtml?

It looks real simple: just a fixed-width, left-aligned and padded <div> with a background image.

thanks - I thought it was a bit more complicated. I have *no idea* about javascript and I saw a load of that in the source.

I really like the hyperlink highlighting - do you reckon that is done in the style sheet?

(I am kinda new to web development btw)

Yes, it's done in the style sheet.
