You will see gradual changes to this blog design over next couple of weeks. In last couple of days, I have used CSS3 gradients for background color and media queries to change the layout a bit for different screen sizes. You can test it by resizing your browser to different sizes.

Using Google Font API
I feel that using open source fonts in the Web design provides a consistent experience as they are always available for download on all platforms.

Warn Yourself If You Are Using IE6, And Upgrade
You will see the IE6 warning if you are reading this blog using IE6 or its older brethren. I have used conditional comments to detect the browser. <!--[if lte IE 6>] <p id="ie6msg">You are using an outdated browser. [Continue]

Apologising For Problem While Commenting
