About fear.mykungfoo.net

This site is basically a little dump for some of the things I've done/made or am making. It looks very simple, and it is. But the beauty of it is that the entire site is coded in CSS and XHTML/PHP! No tables were used at all, except with the metaballs due to cross browser compatibility issues :P

Using CSS for positioning I was able to keep page size, download time and loading times to a minimum, generating a more efficient site. Sure I could have used tables, but they have a number of problems and the amount of code to achieve the same result as this would be substantially more.

The site is 100% CSS and XHTML Transitional Valid markup and employs PHP to dynamically generate content. You might have already notice, but each instance of Tux [the penguin] changes with each pageload.

The site itself consists of the homepage and images, the detail viewing script - fear.php and the dynamically added content files. All positioned and styled using the same style sheet, again keeping load times at a low.

Content is positioned using percentage values and, although defined in pixels, the text size is fully resizable making for a fully browser, resolution and platform independant site. According to the bobby accessibilty checker, I need to define the links more visually and not rely purely on color, however this doesnt take into account the actual string content of the links and its bold styling, so all in all fear.mykungfoo.net is a very accessible site.

The URL is ambiguous. Clearly it is a play on words - fear my kungfu. But further, there seems to be an underlying link between kungfu, zen and the programming community. This is accentuated by using the common universal programming example variable "foo". So in essence the URL comes to mean "Fear my coding/programming skills". Quite appropriate Im sure you'll agree.
