Since I first got my hand on XHTML and CSS, I have been dreaming that someday I can get a job as a freelance web(log) designer. Yesterday, I got it. My friend Budi asked me to design his weblog. He gave me a quick layout drawing from Adobe Photoshop to show me what he wants. A minimalist look it is. It seems that he has an enlightment after seeing Notable Words and Garrett Dimon’s weblog. Indeed he has had the minimalist taste a couple of years back. But to implement it on a weblog today is a brave decision since not many people are ready to throw away all the blog’s accessory and just stick with the content. Notable Words and Garrett Dimon did that. And now my friend, Budi, do that too. It’s my first time ever to handcode a complete HTML and CSS of a page. And it’s valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS. Not bad for a first timer, eh? Well, it’s not finished yet, though. You may expect more development in the next couple of days.
