Is there one such? I am looking for this. I know there is one called <a href="http://akbani.blogspot.com/2006/05/blog-to-show.html" rel="nofollow">Successful Outstanding Bloggers</a>. See this cited in my blog. By the way, I have cited your blog in my research survey on Blog as a teaching tool. I will be happy to share with you my ppt, which I did for a course on Teaching effectiveness. Would appreciate you leave a comment about my effort.

If I was more inclined, I would have written a lot more details on how I go about this, and I may not have underscored that a good, if not better than good, working knowledge of CSS is very essential. The other things I left out were: (1) Do the changes incrementally, and save a copy of a style sheet at every step if you need to revert. (2) Test your work on other browsers, and other platforms (for example, the font size in your form field is so small it is unreadable on a Mac, and I had to use apple + on a mac to increase the size so I could see what I was typing). Internet explorer can do unexpected things due to how it handles margin and padding, and I have dealt with really weird things with floated content. (3) One could spend all their time tinkering with the look and layout-- I go in spurts, and will leave it as is for months, or more-- it is the writing and sharing and ideas that really count. Keep up the great work! Working with kids the way you do is so important. Hi Anne,
