Looks great, but its not 100% compliant! This toolbar in FireFox tells me you have 11 errors in your code.

You didn't close your meta tags, and are using empty <span>'s. Fix both and you're good. The buddha thing rocks.

lol aphex, the code was written by Dave Shea from the css zen garden. I have already e-mailed him about it

If you read the page it says submitters are not allowed to alter the html in any way. So I didn't.

Cheers for your comments!

Looking at the sample html on csszengarden.com it's all good so I guess he fixed it already

Not bad... I don't really like the drop shadow though.

Thanks so far guys. I can tell ya's it's a massive exersize in coding and using css to create any layout.

I fully recommend it to everyone that's into tableless css.

Looking good. I like the theme and faded graphics. It's different in this age of glassy modern looks. Refreshing. Well done.

Maybe we should have a competition for the best CSS Zen Garden entry?

I agree, the faded image is really something different in this vibrant age. Very good in that it doesn't distract from the rest of the site.

A competition would definitely help me use CSS more in my designs.
