UPDATE: Before we start part 7 I want to correct a minor mistake of mine, mea culpa. When adding blocks of text I told you to put this between div tags but that is not semantically correct. It should be between paragraphs instead. This way everything still looks fine when the CSS stylesheet is dissabled. Doing so allows you to use top and bottom margins to adjust the vertical spacing between paragraphs. This way we also don’t need to use linebreak tags anymore.

In our previous part we implemented our very first CSS code. For first time visitors here is: part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4. In this part of the tutorial we will be implementing our navigation on the left.

Finally we’re off for the third part of our CSS tutorial. Lesson 1, 2 are still available on my blog for those who haven’t been following from the beginning. This will be our last design part, after this it will be “slice and dice” time and the beginning of the XHTML and CSS conversion. Here are some details of the final result:

This is the start of a step-by-step based tutorial about how to create a CSS based template page. This will be a tutorial consisting of several parts: part 1 covers the creation of the navigation buttons in Photoshop CS*, the 2nd part will be the creation of the background, next on the list is the header and layout of the page and finally the implementation in CSS and XHTML.
