About
CSS Mania was born in March 2004 as section on the personal blog of Gabriel Segura as he loafed around the few CSS Showcases that existed during that time.
" CSS Mania's secret is in that a perl/php/mysql mixed script takes care of 99% of the work involved in updating "Gabriel is one of the founders of Blogs Media, a Spanish company specializing in nanopublications, blog services and blog consulting.
We believe that CSS Mania is the largest CSS showcase in the world.
CSS Mania's secret is in that a perl/php/mysql mixed script takes care of 99% of the work involved in updating. Sure, we use other CSS showcases as input, but we also pay close attention to feedback we receive from other non-pro users who also know quality and good looks in a web site when they see it.
A new era: CSSmania.com
In 2005, before our admired Paul Scrivens sold CSSVault to Jacob Gower, we realized that other CSS Showcases sites, except ours, weren't updating very regularly.
We know that updates are what make a difference to you.
We aren't interested in the geek insights or trivial discussions common on other similar sites. We are interested in learning what any CSS afficionado or professional might want to learn.
We started working on this newest phase in mid-2005. During these months many of you might have had some strange referrers on your stats.
If you're a web developer, you'll find inspiration and knowledge on CSS Mania.
If you are a business owner and would like to strengthen your company's presence on the internet, you'll find the best solutions based on CSS behaviors. You can track your competitors, and above all, you can find and contact the most qualified web developers internationally, in your country, and even in your own city.
Who are we? Blogs Media
We launched CSS Mania in February 2006 as an initiative of Blogs Media, a Spanish company specializing in blog design, publishing and consulting and committed to the development of the Hispanic and international blogospheres.
