Greetings to all the folks coming from Web Creme and CSS Mania!
While I haven't written up a tutorial on how I used TypePad's Custom CSS to design this blog, the tutorials posted last week on Everything TypePad pretty much spell out the two fairly minor (but big impact) changes I made to the default CSS -- custom banner, blog background and the content background). I tweaked other values, as well, but you should be able to go along way with just those two customizations. The best thing about this design is that I'm using basic templates that didn't require me to touch any code other than the CSS.
For those who want to play along, check out the TypePad Design Assistant. Tip: I used the Asterisk Wide theme to get started.
Having my design spotlighted on these two sites makes me feel quite honored because after all these years at Six Apart doing a lot of different things and having a lot of different roles, I always can find my bliss pushing pixels in Photoshop.
And because everything in life comes full circle, today is the seven-year anniversary(!) of my launch of dollarshort.org.
