Best CSS based horisontal navigation

I've spent quite a bit of time researching how to build the best horisontal CSS navigation, and I believe I've found the perfect method, which I now apply to all of my work - thought it would be a nice thing to share.

The Markup

When developing in Drupal (as we do) one would use the primary and secondary links in the admin to create the navigation, and it looks a little something like this: 


<div id="header">
	<ul class="menu">
		<li><a class="active" href="#">home</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">about</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">blog</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">press</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">shout</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>

Integrating Twitter with Drupal (apologies for the geeky post)

Right, so I was going to write a little how-to for people that want to integrate their Twitterfeed in their Drupal site. As I tweeted yesterday; it was just TOO easy...

Step 1: Get your code right

Assuming you already have a Twitter account, the first step is to go to Twitter Widget Chooser, tick for HTML widget and click continue.

Things are coming along..

I feel self-conscious when I go to post a new message now that several of the people I work with subscribe to this blog. Thought I should just just make a list of the features I've implemented on the site.

The blog is now fully functional according to my needs. I'm using the taxonomy for tagging my blog posts, and it seems to be working as it should.

I've integrated my Flickr page on my site using the flickr module. I made some photosets on Flickr and realised that I need to upgrade to have more than 3 sets at the same time. It's only 20 something dollars for a year so I don't mind cashing out for such a good tool.

Pretty proud

So, I followed a bunch of Drupal tutorials, and the website is now actually up and running with no errors! Nice work by Robert Safuto - his walkthroughs are easy to follow so I'll be returning to his videos for help later.

Flying under the radar

Right, here I am, with an attempt to learn how to develop websites. I am so impressed with what the guys do in Drupal at work, I thought I'd give it a go to see what the fuss is about. So far I'm very impressed by the endless possibilities this system offers.
