The following is the first major revision of my personal site, Alazanto. It was completed in August of 2003.
The CSS Zen Garden is a very important project because it gives designers the chance to utilize practical, but relatively new web standards to show other designers that nearly any sort of attractive design can be created through the use of these standards.
Thus far, the most glaring problem with the XML/XSLT driven weblog has been in how formatting (like paragraphs or images) embedded in the XML documents would cause Mozilla to display the HTML tags rather than rendering the HTML.

I have all the archive pages completed and a comments system partially implemented. To get the comments system working, I used this thread as a resource.
