 Use A Text Editor That Has Completion-Assist, Don't Use A WYSIWYG

I use Eclipse, but that's because I use it for other things as well. Probably overkill for just HTML/CSS.

narrowlisting does not convey information about the contents of the element, only about the styling, which you want to seperate out of the html in the first place.
id="article" is a nice semantic name.

I disagree. You cannot generalise that.
If you have a very distinct website where every element has it's unique place then such semantic names are nice.
If you have a more random site with different stuff here and there then it might be a good idea to name the styles after how they end up looking like.
In other words if I might want to re-use a certain style with some completely different content, then I would be a dumbass to give it a "content" name.
In the end it all comes down to what YOU feel works best for YOU.

What does semantic mean?
Semantics is the study of the meaning of words.

. . . use your imagination and call them something like "evilzombiefucker" or "coldshit" or "frederick"
That's pretty much what I do, just to avoid giving things the same name by accident.
Imaginative or stupid . . . not sure ;)
 Congrats Zwiffle

It looks like a sausage factory, though. If I was that one chick there I would start every morning
out playing the tune, Its Raining Men, because I would have all the sexy hunks at Human Head all to myself.
 Oh, Zwif

if you are on the level design team keep an eye on your boss:

From his pic there, he looks like a certain temperate, Australian actor. Just watch out for the flying phones, all I'm sayin'.

I probably meant the word 'temperamental' but too tired to care. Must be all the push ups.
 Congrats Zwiffle!!

I think you need more gif animations. A page is boring to look at if nothing moves. Blinking text would rock too.

Why do they think they have the right to screw around with things like padding?
Why doesn't the most popular browser support things like opacity?
And the rest...
 Heh

welcome to the wonderful world of webdesign.
That new look is much better. I would get rid of everything right of the text (the cow and the bottom logo), make it fixed width and horizontally center it.
And in the navigation the backgroundcolor is too aggressive. Maybe simply use the color from the rest of the page.
You are still using the Eras Demi ITC font that no-one has.

#14161 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/04/30 16:11:28
I cant figure out how to center the main column in the space to the right of the nav bar.
4:00am I went to bed last night, and I just couldn't figure out the correct way of doing it!
Any clues?
style.css is in the root dir.
My hands are tied on the font thing, but I made it default to sans-serif if Eras Demi ITC is not present :) - it was just on plain old Times New Roman. (Not that Arial is much more exotic)
 Bambuz Is Right, Zwiffle

Bosses want employees with balls of brass who challenge them and don't bore them. You should put up a Smiths Meat is Murder poster up at your cubicle right away.

Or take it to the next level and start hunting your boss.

Shut your face. Internet Explorer is great and for saying that it sucks, I will never look at you the same way again ever.
But I still think you and your maps are awesome ;)
But in all seriousness, I can't see any major difference on your site between IE7 and Firefox. Besides the cow being slightly off the table and the left column not highlighting when I hover over it, they look basically the same.
 Yeah
#14165 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/05/01 01:35:50
Those are the things which piss me off. And its because Internet explorer is TOO FUCKING GOOD for half of the code, which was designed by people trying to reach a standard protocol for all browsers because of all of the discrepancies with incompatibility issues.
I feel that Microsoft left small little niggling things out of their browser's code out of SPITE because they weren't the only ones calling the shots for once.
And to top it all off THEY DO HAVE THE MOST POPULAR BROWSER OF ALL OF THEM. Most people dont even know what Firefox or Safari are!!!
I'll tell you what they are:
Compliant
Properly Coded
Better than Internet Explorer.
Meh
