So, I've been experimenting with CSS on my weblogs (as well as the work I'm doing for MonsterMutt). CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and was supposed to be the be-all end-all in formatting for the web. Unfortunately each browser still picks and chooses what to implement. I'd thought Opera was the best of the lot (and generally recommend Opera as the best alternative to MSIE), however I've found that the new version of Netscape does quite well (that is, what you see is what you expect from the definitions at the W3 CSS site. That said, Netscape (the new one) has a funky feel to text entry (y o u c a n s e e e a c h c haracter as it is entered) and I'll stick to Opera for now.
