Time is running out

Time is running out for submissions to the Style Me Challenge. You could win a spot in my new book and a free copy of the book to go with it, simply by creating a set of CSS rules to go with the HTML in the Style Me Challenge.

This contest is not only for experienced designers, students are welcome to enter, too. If you learned to write CSS in part from reading my first book, then your entry would be especially welcome—that’s not a requirement however. Deadline is November 1, so get that CSS-brain of yours working and send in an entry!

Eric Meyer and lynda.com team up

The long awaited collaboration between Eric Meyer’s CSS expertise and Lynda Weinmann’s training movies on CD ROM expertise has just published. CSS Site Design is a set of CDs priced at $149.95, which might make you faint if you were thinking book prices, but is pretty standard for CDs. I haven’t seen this yet so I can’t give you a review. I expect a lot from this pair—good CSS and good presentation—and hope to have a chance to review it in-depth at some point.
