CSS Zen Garden was a treasure back in the day, one of the most inspirational CSS sites showing the power and flexibility that can be achieved with CSS over semantic HTML.

I still remember the original design from Dave Shea fondly:

One of my quixotic personal projects was reproducing this design for my Myspace profile.

Ha, I found the blog I was keeping:

It includes a small screenshot.

Yes! This brings back memories! This site inspired me to learn CSS. I was doing free Xanga themes in high school, lol.
I used to love it but know I can't help to notice that there is no max width and the font is way too small.
