    It is a great tutorial, and very well explained. However like many other tutorials around the web it lacks the next stage - converting this design to XHTML and CSS. It would be nice to see how the concept can be made into reality.

    Yes, where could I go to learn how to convert a design such as this to XHTML / CSS ? I would like to use Joomla as the CMS..
