Has to be by-far the best resource for css, its so easy to understand and easy to follow the tutorials. I've worked before with wordpress, and like you said in screencast 1, its an absoulute nightmare to design a theme round the default theme. Now thanks to you, you have gave me the starkers theme. This will make designing wordpress sites 10x easier! Keep up the good work, and i have sunscribed to your rss feeds :) Tyler Hey Chris, cant remember how i came across your website css-tricks, but all i can say is excellent!

Really enjoyed it! One problem I had was when working a long with you while you built the side bar. When using simple pie to pull in post from another blog, i get this error: "Warning: ./cache/ec08f73050436aff8bd89d98388e9c25.spc is not writeable in C:\Domains\domainname.com\wwwroot\blog\wp-content\themes\bobblog01\inc\simplepie.inc on line 1769" I have combed the forums and tried what they have said "enable cache to false" "change folder permissions" Just is not working. have you had this problem before? first off thanks for taking the time to do this.
