Who Should Redesign?

Another one of these design-related hot-or-not style sites where you vote on if a site should redesign or not. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes….

Accordian to who?

Tomorrow’s CSS Today

Tim Wright talks about progressive enhancement through CSS with some of the features of CSS3 (and some CSS2.1).
