Blue_80 Template

introduction

This standards compliant website template is a themed version of the previously released 'tick_tock_light' design. It is released as an 'open source' design (under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Licence), which means that you are free to download and use it for anything you want (including modifying and amending it). The logo image is from a digital photograph taken by me, so there are no issues with copyright there. All I ask is that you leave the 'design by dcarter' link in the footer of the template, but other than that...

This template is written entirely in XHTML 1.1 and CSS, and can be validated using the links in the footer.

You can view my other 'open source' template designs here.
