1.really good suggestions!
indeed i'm doing 'adding bits of css now and again'! as i do not have photoshop skills so far
i should stop that.
2.actually i'm not that clear about a good design.
do you think search 'good design example' and try to work them out in photoshop is a good way to start?
i just did a search,
http://inspirationfeed.com/inspiration/40-detailed-examples-...
any designer can give the hours you need for any of the example there?
it looks very difficult for me so far.
interesting experience. for people running personal web business, maybe this is worth trying for some period;
I just started to do something during weekends, hope it can grow big to cover my daily job
i thought this only happens in china.
