CSS Background Inspiration
One of the challenges in marketing your website (or blog, or Squidoo lens) is to make yourself different and to stand out from the crowd. One way to do this is to use stunning images, just like this amazing picture of TableTop Mountain in South Africa.
This post certainly sticks out!! It uses a technique called CSS Background, where the image is used as a background to the paragraphs of text. You can find out how to do this on my CSS Background Squidoo Lens.
There’s an additional technique here too. The paragraphs use a fine array of dots to darken them over the blue sky background. This produces a semi-transparent effect which helps the text to stand out. The text here is white, which looks pretty good. I’ll post the code for this here in a day or two.
Can you think of more ways to make yourself stand out from the crowd?
