Have been thinking about this move for sometime, and finaly found some time to make the project happen. It still feels a bit strange to not whip out the old div id="header" or div class="footer", but the semantics, man they looks so much cleaner.
What really sparked this redesign, was reading Dan Cederholm's book HANDCRAFTED CSS. He's a truly talented designer and his site simplebits.com definately pushes the limits of brilliant web design. The book comes highly recomended.
