The first page is the hardest, once you get that done it's just a matter of figuring out what to fill the template with 3 times. :)
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

Interesting...
I've been fighting over determining the content and was then going to build to suit :P

I used my Lorem Ipsum JS to give me content to work with, without actually filling the page with content.

I did the main layout using that, then went back and added the content. It's easier to have "<!-- 2-3 paragraphs -->" in the source than it is to have a block of ipsum there. It's nice being able to just change a number and have the amount of text generated change to see what will happen too. :D

I'm just using wikipedia for the content... but now I have gotten a different idea but I'm not going with the different idea... it would mean doing a whole different design. Don't want to do that :lol:

Alright... my novice-piece is done :D

Link to it: Here
ISO Image file: Press ALT then click Here

Sorry, I don't have any utility to create a zipped file... all of the evaluation versions are gone :(

PowerISO would open the iso file easily... I think winzip does as well.

I've got Power ISO, so don't worry. It opens up pretty much anything.

Your entry might be more well suited if the banner said "Ancient Greece" - the Persians weren't greek ;)

Bogey, you should try 7zip. It does tar, gz, bzip2 (I think) and zip files as well as its own file type 7z. The best part is that it's free and open source!
Like Mr Spork, I also write about my interest in alcoholic beverages.
