<p>This was a design I originally started for my <a href="http://www.growldesign.co.uk">growldesign</a> website, but ended up scrapping it. I thought
that instead of scrapping it completely, maybe someone else might find a good use for it. So here you go, my first submission to oswd.org.</p>

<h3 id="code" title="The Code">The Code</h3>
<p>Blue Leaves has been coded entirely in <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> 1.1
& <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</acronym>. No tables were touched in the making of this website. Isn't that cool?
As well as being cool, using <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym>
& <acronym title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</acronym> has many advantages such as:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Cleaner Code</b>: Adherence to strict guidelines results in cleaner code. All extraneous or ambiguous elements are eliminated, so pages
are smaller, load faster, and render correctly.</li>
<li><b>Interoperability and Accessibility</b>: XHTML is currently readable by the greatest number of browsers, devices and assistive technologies like screen readers.
Accessibility is quickly becoming a legal issue.</li>
<li><b>Search Engine Friendly Code</b>: XHTML produces pages that search engine spiders find easy to understand. There are no presentational elements or bloated
code to confuse the spiders, so they'll crawl everything that matters and rank you accordingly.</li>
<li><b>Design Consistency</b>: With CSS, the same style elements can be applied to every page of a site. From the first page forward, your visitors will be presented with a consistent
design scheme, building their comfort level and effectively promoting your brand.</li>
<li><b>Easy Maintenance</b>: Changes to CSS web page designs are simple. Instead of having to go back and alter every single page of your site, with CSS only the relevant style
sheets have to be updated, saving you hours of work and limiting the introduction of possible errors. </li>
</ol>
