Welcome to the new and improved CSS Newbie! This new version of the site has been a long time in the making, so I’m very excited to finally have it ready for its grand unveiling. There are a few changes to the site that I’d like to point out. […]
A while back when I was working on developing the jQuery popout tutorials, I ran across a significant and annoying bug in Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

A couple of months back, I ran a contest for my subscribers here on CSS Newbie. The prize was a copy of Eric Meyer’s pocket CSS reference book and a plug on my site. The winner of that contest was one Matthew Moro. And, finally, this is his plug.
