So I start to modify it...wait a minute...nothing logical is working. I change the page's link colors and they show up still the wrong color online, so I go to the CSS file...change it there....still they show up the wrong color??? WHAT??? Who is controlling this page, the CSS file or the page itself, and if they cannot agree...THEN what happens? I also cannot get the flash gallery to center and scale in the 'content area'. Instead it pushes around the menus and lowers them. WHAT the heck? I am spending more time digging through the 500 line CSS file trying to find the correct mark-up than actually doing the webpages themselves. CSS?? Needs to be more easily accessable...I don't know, perhaps a 3D ortho view of the layer stacking so you could get to your content that is buried?? - Mark Okay, so I am trying to redesign our webpage to make it more easy to navigate (with more front end links) so I found a CSS template that looked like it fit the bill.

Granted, I love how the names in CSS actually make since. instead of "bgcolor", its "background-color" or even just "background". Still, most of CSS2 just doesn't work for real-life non-blog websites. Let's just hope CSS3 turns out to be just as good as we're told it will be.
