When you work on a new web design project and have entered the stage for coding, how do you go about it?
Do you start with the HTML and write the whole HTML page first, then code your CSS then troubleshoot?
Do you write all of your CSS first, then the HTML markup, then troubleshoot?
Or, do you write chunks of HTML first, add in the styles, troubleshoot/test, repeat?
Personally, I have done it just about all three ways – but my most often used method is the 3rd. I start from the top and work down to the bottom from left to right. I will start and code the entire header of a site in HTML first – then write my styles. Check in firefox, and repeat. Then, after the whole page is completed I check in all browsers to trouble shoot compatability issues – which are usually minimal and related to IE6 only – go figure!
So, how about you?

Tomorrow I’m going to be porting CSSgirl over to my new host (Media Temple) and CSSgirl may experience periodic downtime. Or it may not :P
Also, tomorrow the new CSSgirl theme will go LIVE along with a brand new article! Thanks for the patience!
I have to apologize for basically falling off the face of the earth!
A lot of you aren’t familiar with me personally, and because of this I understand why people became annoyed when I stopped publishing articles as frequently.
I love to blog, and I love web design and development, but sometimes this little thing called life pulls me away from the “blogosphere” ;) For those not familiar – I have three small children – 7 & under. I also have a full time job as web developer and I freelance – after all of that I have only a few moments to spare for CSSgirl.
But thankfully, I’ve sorted out my time spectacularly now, and I have seven great new articles in the works to be published in the upcoming week (or two). I also have my new theme almost ready to go live AND I’m moving CSSgirl from my old webhost (Micfo) to my new host (Media Temple).
I have a lot of work ahead of me in the coming weeks, and I hope everyone will bear with me as CSSgirl has hit some growing pains.
To satisfy your web dev and design cravings I strongly suggest you take a gander at CSS Tricks, CSS Globe and Noupe.
Also – the three themes that were not chosen from September’s vote will be available for download and use within the next 30 days!
