Common fonts
This reference guide lists the "browser-safe fonts" that were reliably available across Windows and Mac systems in the early 2000s, along with their cross-platform substitutes for use in CSS font-family declarations. Since browsers could only display fonts already installed on a user's computer, web designers needed to restrict themselves to this standardized set and use fallback options to ensure consistent appearance across different operating systems and machines. The guide includes detailed notes on compatibility quirks, such as which fonts only work in certain browsers or fail to render properly with bold and italic styles on particular systems.

How to size text using ems | clagnut/blog
This article explains how to use em units for font sizing in CSS to enable text resizing in all browsers while maintaining pixel-level precision. The author advocates setting the body font-size to 62.5% (converting the default 16px to 10px), then calculating child element sizes using the formula "child pixels ÷ parent pixels = child ems" to make the math intuitive. The piece addresses common complications like nested elements, heading inconsistencies across browsers, and form controls, providing a systematic approach to em-based typography that was practical for early 2000s web standards.

And all that Malarkey [CSS: Hold the front page]
The author demonstrates how to create a magazine-style multi-column news layout using only semantic HTML elements (definition lists, headings, and unordered lists) with CSS styling, avoiding the need for extra wrapper divs. The technique uses floated definition lists for featured items, smaller floated definition lists for secondary news, and floated list items for additional links, with specific CSS rules to handle layout and the IE doubled float-margin bug. The approach was tested across multiple browsers including Internet Explorer 5-6, Firefox, Opera, and Mozilla.

Turning a list into a navigation bar | 456 Berea Street
This tutorial explains how to build a horizontal navigation bar using semantic HTML (an unordered list) and CSS, demonstrating the progression from unstyled markup through incremental styling steps. The author covers key techniques including floating elements to create inline tabs, adding padding and borders for visual separation, and using body element IDs to highlight the current page's link.
