Why div-based designs are good
The first thing I did this morning at work was work on a wordpress blog’s theme. We’re in the process of rebranding an existing blog and giving it a new look. We’re working off of a theme that was build by WP Zoom. The end product of my modifications is what is shown above.
I peeked inside as apparently, I’m the only person that knows how to customize wordpress without using a plugin for everything. I was thankful that the design is div based. While table layouts are out of date, I still run into them from time to time. But let me be honest, I hate using tables for layout purposes. I don’t like the way they clutter things up with tr and td.
Div based designs are easier but even that can get messy. It’s important to know when you need a div or when you’re needlessly just putting divs around everything.
I was somewhat fed up when someone else had modified the stylesheet to another theme of mine and ended up screwing up the formatting. I don’t know how… or where she thought the first paragraph of every entry should be italicized…
