My favourite website

[triskellian]

I don't really do 'favourite' things for most categories of thing, but it occured to me yesterday that I do have a favourite website: CSS Zen Garden.

It's not the site I visit most often (that's LJ), or the one I find most directly useful (Google), but it's my favourite. It's a piece of glorious CSS evangelism, demonstrating what's possible with CSS-based web design. It's effectively a one-page site, with many different stylesheets, all working on exactly the same static HTML document, and achieving wildly different layout effects. The home page remains the same, but there's an often-changing selection of user-submitted stylesheets, of which my current favourite is Museum (remember, that's exactly the same HTML as the homepage I linked above - it's just the stylesheet that's different). I go back to it over and over, looking at favourite designs, getting ideas from the CSS, and being re-enthused about the whole thing, and it gives me so much joy that I want to share it with you ;-)

Now, repay the favour. What's your favourite website, and why?

Ooh! I didn't know you were a CSS freak too! Want to come join secretrebel and me in our mutual-CSS-spodding sessions?

(I have to make sites that work in NN4, for similar reasons. It makes me cry.)

Subject to the provisos I mentioned the other night at Templars, I'm interested. Whether you could stand me being "interested" in the same room is another question :)

Umm. Was I there? I don't remember the conversation (and haven't been at Templars in the evening for a while)...

You're right: Sunday Brunch. But we stayed after you two (let's continue not counting onebyone) went, so it turned into evening :)

I'm currently off the webmonkey wagon, I'm afraid, due to time constraints!
