Design

The design of this Web site has been derived from the Web design template Autumn 05 created by Dave Reeder as his contribution to the Open Web Design Contest dedicated to the theme Autumn.

But I made a lot of changes in the underlying CSS stylesheet.

E.g. in contrast to Dave Reeder I don't use for the positioning of elements the absolute unit "px". Instead I use the relative unit "em" as suggested by Rachel Andrew in her book The CSS Anthology:

"The em unit will resize as the text resizes, which should help us avoid any problems with overlapping text if the user resizes the font in their browser. For layouts that are predominantly text-based, the em is an excellent choice for setting the widths of boxes and margins."
