Server statsI would like to thank Paul Scrivens of the community resource CSSVault for listing my site. This site was actually my first attempt to get serious about CSS and this listing is a great reward and motivator to go further in that direction. Also many thanks to all the people who have mailed me and said beautiful things.
You’ve made my day ;-)

A direct result of all this is that our server gets a lot more traffic then before and I hope that people will find this blog interesting enough to come back to once in a while. Yesterday my blog received almost 400 people and today were at almost 300. Amazing!

Kudos! It’s all about your design and content. :-) People visit your blog, primarily for the content. And I must admit, it’s quite impressive.

Mmm, I came here from CSS Vault, it’s very nice design, but for me are letter too small (and can’t increase it in browser) and contrast of darkgrey letters on lightgreay background isn’t for me too, I’m pragmatic man who reads rather black on white…

Markoff: I’m thinking about using a style switcher in the future to solve this. But I find it strange that you can’t increase the font size in your browser because when I tried this on my Mac in both Safari and Mozilla it worked and I imagine that it is the same on PC.

I would think that’s because you’re using px as your font-size unit, which makes it unresizable in IE/Win. Other browsers would resize just fine.

Hi Reinier, congratulations ;-) Just went to your blog and it’s a cool one. I’ll definitely come back to do some more reading!

BTW Val Thorens used to be my favorite ski resort… way back before it became so big and famous. I’m talking about when I was a kid, 20-25 years ago! Back then it was “really” paradise. Since it wasn’t known at all, the village was small but the skiing area was (already) huge (3 Valleé etc.), there was no waiting, not crowded...heaven!  It’s been very long since I went back, but my parents and my sister and brother-in-law go every year.

Cool ! I went for the 7th time. When I first went there I was about 11, with my parents. I don’t remember much of that, but I never have waited more than 5 minutes at a ski-lift. So the crowd isn’t that bad :-) It’s just that some people are now attracted to the place, like drunk students, loud Englishman etc. etc. :-)
