I Knew This Would Happen

See, this is why I was putting off setting up my blog. I’ve spent all day messing around with the theme and haven’t written a line of python code. I guess that’s okay though. This is as good a time as any to spend some time re-learning CSS and copy/pasting php code (I don’t need to learn another language right now ).

Of course, I did get a chance to play around with CSSEdit. Curtis Thompson turned me on to this fantastic tool (Curt is also the person who got me to try out django when I was pounding my head against the wall with TurboGears, so I’m in deep debt to him). Essentially, if you’re working on a Mac (and really, what developer worth their salt isn’t these days) you owe it to yourself to try out CSSEdit. Especially if you’re just getting started with CSS, it helps you learn from any live stylesheet on the web, so you can examine how others (who likely have much better Kung Fu than you) have put together their presentation layers. I can’t live without it after only a day of use.
