CSS Headings

Via Craig Saila, Christopher Schmitt’s 50 CSS Headings. Free CSS code snippets is definitely an idea who’s time has come—there are hundreds of copy-and-paste javascript sites out there but hardly any for CSS (discounting the many excellent full layout sites). Mark Newhouse’s extremely popular CSS Design: Taming Lists article does the same thing for lists but other than that this kind of resource is extremely rare. Web developers not interested in moving to CSS completely can still benefit hugely from using it in their current sites in place of nested formatting tables and presentational tags used to give the visual appearance of headings, so the more of this kind of thing out there the better.

  1. The idea of a central repository for public-donated CSS snippets is excellent. As you say it works well for JavaScript, Flash, and the like so why not CSS. It would help stimulate new ideas as well as simply telling folks how to do things. Like all community sites, it's one of those things that needs a critical mass to really get going, but if no-one beats me to it, I'd like to give it a go. There's a lot of talented people out there who would be up for this so maybe there's an opportunity to pull together some resources and give it a shot. A call to arms is required...
