It was a week ago that John Allsopp and I announced the existence of css-discuss. In that time, we’ve gone from 1 subscriber (me) to 1,301 subscribers. There was one message on the list when we started—my initial test message. Since then there have been 1,013 messages posted, many of them utterly fascinating. Several subscribers have commented that they’ve learned a lot about CSS from the list in its first week. That goes for me too. While the posting volume does seem to be slowing a bit, it’s still close to 100 messages per day, indicating that there is more interest in CSS than I had dared even to dream.
So I’d like to thank each and every member of css-discuss for already making it an amazing, vibrant, useful community of learning. I don’t think I could have asked for much better.
Speaking of CSS, I’ve added three more presentation choices to the menu, all of them variations on the basic layout. “Darkfall,” at least, presents a very different look to the site. I also managed to squash a couple of bugs in the site’s minimal Javascript, with help from Bill Pena and co-worker Bob Clary, so you shouldn’t be seeing errors any more, assuming that you did at all. Remember: if the text is smaller than you’d like, go to the “Advanced setup…” page and set your preferred font size. (If you don’t see the advanced setup or any theme choices, you might want to read about this site. If you get my drift.)
