not at all creative...
By way of [Holovaty.com]

At work, we recently launched a new standalone weather site, 6newslawrence.com/weather. Photoshop guru and illustrator extraordinaire Dan Cox did the beautiful design work, including the Lawrence-skyline panorama that changes based on the weather forecast; I coded the site into HTML/CSS and did the backend.

It's proof (we hope) that relatively complex layouts are possible using CSS techniques that are well-supported right now. Aside from Netscape 4 (which, we decided, wasn't worth supporting), to my knowledge, it renders properly in modern versions of IE, Netscape, Mozilla/Firebird, Opera, Safari and Konqueror. Do let me know if you find rendering errors in your browser.

Stuff like this makes me want to learn design stuff. This whole page was done in CSS, no tables, etc, etc. It just looks sweet.

I have that book. Its very very cool. You won't find any technical stuff there, though, if that's what you're after. Especially not CSS.

Yeah I've got it too, looking into for some design idea's, usablility and such. My girlfriend is reading it right now and hopefully I can get my hands on it after her. I've got a few CSS books collecting dust at the moment that I'll be cracking open.
