As they say, "It's a big web, there are room for all of us" =) @art.stk: Go nuts, I have no particular problem with doing it “before the list” or as a part of a definition list.

But I don't like the idea of putting the text 'CSS Zone', 'AJAX Zone', etc. in list items. I think it is kind of header, which should be placed before the list. Or maybe even build it using a definition list. What do you think? I’m currently building a new design for my blog and I’m going to use similar kind of footer.

The background uses that image I showed, but you can also declare a background-color. If the text gets larger and expands out of the area of that image, it just fills in with that background color and the look is maintained. You can go ahead and try it on the live site, it works pretty well.It does have a weakness though, like you said, if you bump the text size <strong>down</strong> a few notches, you can sort of see a weird stop to the gradient. But at that point, the text is so microscopic you can barely see it so I'm not so concerned. @Tim: The gradient of the background fades into a very light gray background color (or maybe it’s even white, now that I think about it).
