Another Sitepoint article by yours truly has hit the deck. This one, The unruly ruler, is actually quite old and was originally published only on Overcaffeinated, here. Georgina, the Sitepoint editor, contacted me and asked for permission to republish it, which I obviously found so thoroughly repellant that I yielded only after about half a second of forceful evil-eye staring and virtual arm twisting.

Plus, it provides an excellent opportunity to, once more, bring attention to that hideous photograph of my noggin’ that they have in my profile. A fact to which I can hardly object, really, since I was the one that provided it to them. Rest assured, in real life, I look kind of like a cross between Fabio and Tom Selleck.

This one is not as large in scope as Tables vs. CSS, but I hope that it will be useful for someone. The technique also falls somewhat short of being semantically correct, so if my prognosis is correct I should be getting a public flogging of MelGibsonian proportions at the Sitepoint forums (fora?, fori?) at about this time tomorrow. Don’t miss out! There might be entrails!
