Issue 276

It's Tuesday again and I'm writing this before heading over to help out with the last SmashingConf of the year. I'll be speaking tomorrow on new things in CSS, after I've updated my slides as new things keep happening that I need to include or update! Not a bad problem to have.

Loads of useful ideas and tips this week, a really nice collection of layout-related stuff to look through. Thanks to sponsor An Event Apart!
