I apologise in advance. On reflection, the title sounds much more offensive than was intended. The point of the entry still stands, however.

FYI, I found your blog's color scheme -- blue-on-blue with blue links -- and small text hard to read. Design tips that are hard to read are somewhat self-nullifying.

Design and coding are two totally separate arenas. I am useless at design. Nonetheless, I'll bear your criticism in mind. (Although you can resize the text yourself, it's %-driven.)

I threw in an override stylesheet with larger text and more contrast; append ?useoverride to any of my URLs if you need to use it.

If you give me a new title that's closer to what's intended, I'll change the title of the link.

Given that the point of the entry is to show off the position independent examples rather than insult any one individual's abilities, something like "Order-Independent CSS Layout Examples" would probably be more appropriate.

I assume I could change it myself (the edit link is there)...

I thought you meant the link had timed out. (It does after a while.) If that would be a better title, why not change it?

Because I've seen too many people shot down in flames for not quoting titles as-is, and I'm not feeling that brave today.

Incidentally, the edit link has timed out now.
