I’m just really giving another heads up for this article about creating the definitive multi column layout. I had read it a while back but went through it again yesterday. Really good stuff and nice detailed explanations through-out. If you build websites for a living then this should be read.

Got back from @Media 2005 today. This was a 2 day conference held in a College near Waterloo, London. There were presentations from Jeffery Zeldman, Douglas Bowman, Andy Budd, Molly E. Holzschlag and Jeremy Keith. There were more, of which you can find via the link above.

The first day was not as good as the second; A lot of speaker back slapping and product placement. I couldn’t believe Douglas Bowman spoke about Wired.com. I know it was a very important site when it came out, but it came out 3 years ago and he must have done much cooler and advanced sites since. He made up for it on the second day with his walk through the design and development of Blogger site. Everyone who spoke have their presentations available online which I will link to once I find the URL.

Final point. This conference had all the big names in CSS and Web Standards, and was full of internet geeks and nerds. But the venue had NO internet connection !!

I have just read this great article by Arve Bersvendsen about the early history of CSS, something I actually did not know a lot about. I makes great reading and well worth a look yourselves.
