I am going to start using the placeholder from http://lorempixum.com/ from here on. In my last post, I added one of my GIMP creations, but it didn't give the best effect, so I've now added on of these placeholders.
Your also going to fined some of the code I use even leaner. I've been reading the excellent Smashing Book #2. It contains many of the things I'm interested in at the moment and has been improving the quality of my work no end.
For those of you with an addiction for free design code, here is a nice font display.
See demo.

Simple layout #35
The template is very similar to a previous one. I've just changed the colours, fonts, etc. This does give an entirely different impression and can therefore act as an inspiration for doing other things with the design.
See demo.
