After creating the page for the MP$ calculator, I decided to give a go at updating the Austin Storm Center to use some of the layout technology that I had used in the MP$ calc.
The main thing that gives both of the sites their unique look and feel is the <fieldset> and <legend> tags. I believe these were first introduced in HTML 4.0 so older browsers probably won't support them. I really need to get a look at them on an old browser. I wonder if I have a really old copy of Knoppix or something with an old firefox. Someone needs to make a site where you can view how your page works on different browsers and vesions.
I decided to go with some pretty progressive color schemes. That is to say I used a complementary color scheme. Things from opposite sides of the color wheel. Putting blues and orange/yellow next to each other. Very web 2.0
