There was an upsurge of really awesome HTML/Java and Flash sites in the early 00’s. The last 3 or 4 years things have gotten really bland…. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Basic HTML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-html/) * Thread Starter [TerdRatchett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terdratchett/) * (@terdratchett) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-html/#post-1748557) * I looked at CSS Zen Garden and with all due respect, while some of the designs are attractive in a basic way, they look like every other CSS site that has been put together in the last 3 years. You can spot a CSS site a mile away. They tend to look like someone had to make compromises in the design and layout process??? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Basic HTML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-html/) * Thread Starter [TerdRatchett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terdratchett/) * (@terdratchett) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-html/#post-1748537) * Thanks very much! * Honestly I’ve never seen CSS used in such a way where a table type layouts look the same from browser to browser. So many times you see text on top of text and other formating issues. With tables, with any browser they always look like they are supposed to. Until they come out with another web standard, HTML tables are second only to Flash to create visually attractive, consistent, pixel accurate designs. * Thanks for the image thing. I entered the whole link into my editor, but it truncated the hyperlink. * So there is an active stylesheet even though I did not create one? There is a default one? * Will check on this, thanks again! * TR * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Basic HTML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-html/) * Thread Starter [TerdRatchett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terdratchett/) * (@terdratchett) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-html/#post-1748490) * Hi JPry, * Thanks for your assistance! Here is the page for what it’s worth. It’s so missing the design elements I created it’s almost unrecognizable…. * [http://dalebjohnston.wordpress.com/about/](http://dalebjohnston.wordpress.com/about/) * I did not use any CSS, it’s purely conventional HTML. * TR Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
