Some Comments
I have worked as an application developer and done some freelance web development in the past. I must say, it's amazing how much of this I forgot in just a year and 1/2. I'm glad to be in this course and have a chance to dust off these skills.
I tried using the 960 Grid System to generate a stable column based layout. The concept of the grid system is very good. I like how it organizes the page space into a solid columnar format. However, either I didn't use it correctly, or this implementation isn't very good. Items are floating around the center of the page rather than staying in their assigned columns. I've hacked them into place for now, but the layout is quite unstable. Overall, it definitely failed to live up to my expectations. Needless to say, I shall be reformatting this page shortly.
Quick follow up: it turn's out the problem I was experiencing with the grid system had to do with float behavior (always a pain). The grid layout needs a method of specifying that content in the far left (1st) column should "clear" any hanging content from the row above. The lack of a "clear" style (clear: both) can cause block level elements in lower "rows" to push right into another column.
