1. Showing Up

   May 12 2008

   That was a busy weekend. It all started with a little inscape play with the blog's logo...

   When it came to the logo I thought it would be nice to get a cool .com domain for this site but of course such names as bodybuilding.com or even bodybuildingblog.com where already registered. After hours of meditations and throwing far away thoughts like bodybuildinggeek.com I finally came to itsabodybuildingblog.com.

   Then I added some basic layout... and basic layout quickly turned into typography fun and positioning magic. After another hours of sitting inside styles.css, after being called stupid and maniac by my fiancée for few times I was kinda satisfied with what I see on my screen.

   It's not surprising that whole satisfaction just burned out when I launched IE6... Another hour or two of debugging and fixing and ...

   Voilà!

   I guess I'm not ashamed any more to show this babe to the world.

2. Semantic Mark-up of Article Page

   May 9 2008

   Last time we where discussing semantic mark-up of blog's home page. With all this knowledge we can smoothly move forward and mark up the page with full article contents and visitors' comments.

   The process will be very similar to one we used for home page, so if you haven't read previous article, please do it as it will be really helpful. If you already been there don't hesitate and read on :)

3. Semantic Mark-up of the Home Page

   April 28 2008

   When you start to build a website and you have a general idea about content it will contain, you very often move on to designing the visual part of it and later this visualisation gets marked up into (X)HTML styled with CSS. It's not a bad way to do it, but in such process in most cases mark-up gets focused much more on the visual part of the design than on semantic meaning of the content.

   That's why the process of building a website should be split into clear steps. I'm just testing such iteration approach while creating this blog and I'll document every step in further posts. Marking up the home page is the first one to go.
