Similarly, many people pick Evernote or Microsoft OneNote as their repository of choice for digital scraps, doodlings and scanned documents. Then they usually stick with that choice, because it's not easy to toggle between them or switch. About a year ago, I chose Evernote over OneNote, and I started amassing my own digital archive. At the time, Evernote's Mac software was far superior to OneNote's Mac app. However, Microsoft has continually upgraded OneNote for Mac and iOS, and today it's a legitimate Evernote rival; if I were facing the Mac Evernote versus Mac OneNote decision today, it would be a different situation. If you're a Windows user, the choice is even more challenging, because the OneNote 2013 Windows desktop app has valuable features that aren't available in Evernote or OneNote for Mac.

On our CSS Zen Garden Sheet the transparent URL comes up repeatedly . This page gives several descriptions about what it is. Apparently, it controls background color. Which in this case, is transparent.

This is an awesome list of tricks that supplies the code and what your text and page will look like after. I plan to use many of the tricks on this page especially number 7 for the layout of my zen garden site.

This is a little bit of information on why we should even consider using CSS. At times wrtiting the CSS was very frustrating. If the CSS Zen Garden wasn't proof enough why we should use the "tool", this article will give you more insight to the benefits of CSS>

So you want rounded instead of sharp corners? This trick should help you with that. I'm looking for ways to make my page look smoother and more polished, so I think this should help. I'm trying to use this trick for my Zen Garden CSS page.

This page shows how to add an image to your css background. I think a lot f us will be doing that for our designs

A designer at evolt.org says that if you are going to use an unusual font (especially one you have to download), make sure you use it in an image instead designating it as standard text in your CSS page. This is huge, since in my Zen Garden page I'm using a font which I was fond of and downloaded - there are probably very few users whose computers actually have this font, but they can still see it if it is in the form of a .gif.
