If you work in the software/internet business, and for any reason you have missed them so far, you should absolutely read Scott Johnson's essays on marketing and consulting.

Dave asked for help for a CSS-based slides template. I tried, but I could not get what I had in mind using only CSS layers (to achieve a "table-less" page).

This is what I had in mind done with good ol' tables. I'm absolutely not saying that it cannot be done with CSS, simply that I don't know how to do it.

It should scale gracefully, work at all resultions and be easy to edit. Anybody out there willing to give it a try?

Fonts and lists in this example are rendered with CSS. I wanted to make also the background a variable, using .png format to manage the transparent soft shadows, but as I have already found out, this soulution doesn't easily work with IE/Win (I'll do it for my presentations ).
