Designing with stylesheets can be one of the hardest things for a young Jedi web designer to learn. I learned HTML without the benefit of styles, and avoiding the dark side of tables isn’t easy. Mastering styles is hard, but the rewards are worth the Rebellion against tables. The real power of stylesheets is that you can change the design of an entire site by changing a single css file. So, it is with a real sense of accomplishment that I announce that Be A Design Group is now fully sylesheet driven. That’s right, no more tables for Be A Design Group.

“Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!” (click for full sound effect)

Released from the carbonite chambers of tables, our layout can take on any design we want. If we feel like DesignObserver, we can use our “is that the template that came with Movable Type” style:.

Or if we are in a SpeakUp, “man, that’s a big table” mood, we simply slip into this disguise:.

As you can see, the power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of CSS. Then again, uh, they are no match for a good blaster at your side? Ok, I have to stop before this Star Wars theme gets out of hand..

…Well, maybe a couple more…

Jedi mind trick disclaimer: I hope our friends at DO and SpeakUp are flattered by my parody. I love those guys, and have no intention of starting any clone wars. For the rest of you, thanks for putting up with my Star Wars nerdery.
