Progress Report 01 - Site Updates

CSS kicked my butt!
My brain is officially dead. It may not look like much but that damned layout took me three days of fighting to figure out. Remember I had only JUST begun to learn CSS coding and linking stylesheets when I went offline all those many moons ago. Well, now I'm re-learning it and of course I have to skip the basics and go straight for the hard stuff because you get to do more interesting stuff. Well, I was after that damned footer and the left aligned layout. It's still not quite what I wanted. The stupid navigation isn't aligned properly and the footer image was supposed to be smaller, but I'm not going to complain because it's up. Now my next layout can only get better as I become more familiar with the code.
Oh, in case you were wondering what on Earth I am talking about, I did some updating and site maintenance:
Updated Essential Imperfect with a new layout. It's been completely condensed into a hub/site collective. Who needed all of those extra pages? Surely not me.
Updated House of Leaves with a brand spanking new complicated CSS layout. I've also added all the fic that was here on LJ but not onsite. I still need to do the drabbles, however, so don't go looking for those. I also need to finish re-coding the actual fic pages. I'm converting them over to CSS and a stylesheet, as well. It makes everything so much easier.
Anyway, let me know what you all think or if you're having a problem with anything. I should chop up the images to shorten the loading time. Adding that to my to-do list.
