I changed the blog around to see what I could do. Of course I used font stacks to change the different headers and the body text. At the moment they are mostly for me - my header fonts are rarer and probably only live on graphic designers' computers. My .post font is MS Mincho a Microsoft Japanese font with quirky Latin characters. The 07-08 Walker design fellow, Mylinh Trieu uses this font on her portfolio website - mylinhtrieu.com.
I added a background image and I made the background image attachment fixed so it wouldn't scroll and tile itself automatically. It is a scan of a blank photocopy that was colored in Photoshop and I set the size to the resolution of a 20" iMac -- just in case.
I changed the header container and main container so they were no longer centered. Now they are positioned absolutely 100 pixels from the left edge of the browser window.
I made the positioning of my widgets fixed so they wouldn't scroll. My proudest moments was being able to make another div class in order to have another column for another set of widgets.
With Christine's help I changed the opacity of the navigation iframe at the top of the page. I also changed its positioning so it wouldn't scroll away. I made the opacity 30%, but 50% when the mouse hovers over it in order to make it become more visible.
