Geocities 1996: CSS Zen Garden Entry

CSS Zen Garden is a website created by David Shea to demonstrate the power of CSS and encourage its adoption. You get a simple HTML page which has no presentational attibutes. Readers are invited to present CSS files which adds presentational attibutes to this HTML page and beautify it. Lots of designs have been presented, and comparing those designs make a very compelling case for CSS. Bruce Lawson has created a CSS Zen Garden design which is so very reminiscent of Geocities circa 1996 – see for yourself. The fun part is that some people still design their emails like this!
