Wow has comment spam ever gotten out of control in the past few years. Closing discussion for the sake of my sanity, thanks all.

in looking at the CSS code, I did not realize how much "position: absolute" was used in some of the examples, but it seems to be prolific and overused. perhaps the new generation of coding entries will eliminate that questionable technique for positioning content. of course, that all depends on the HTML code layout you are presented with and need to handle. using the absolute parameter for positioning sure would not be conducive to a responsive design.

It was great to see this back online, I remember CSS Zen Garden sparking my interest and use of CSS and moving me away from sliced / table layouts.

Maybe you could add more information about how to develop your page locally, start the server and how to fork the project. Also how to name the folder for your version and what we need to do for creating a new design.

What about using something like sass or less? Too complex for this initial fase?

Remember when I first started learning CSS, Zen was a great help!

Happy 10th Birthday. I remember visiting CSSZenGarden 10 years ago :) Good old days. Would be nice to add some CSS 4 experimental stuff in it too. Bring the new version on. Can't wait.

I disagree that CSS Zen Garden v1 has outlived it usefulness as teaching tool. I learned a lot from it five years ago and most, if not all, of that is still valuable. Granted things have evolved since then and an updated version will be most valuable.

"strolling down memory lane" sounds nice. 10 years ago we were in the second year of our web development agency and many things happened since! Thank you for Zen Garden which certainly has influenced our work!

My god it's been ten years already. I just might create another design, it sure was fun the last time! Oh, how I miss IE6.

This is great, The Zen garden came out just after I graduated and threw out the table-based dreamweaver designing we'd learned. I embraced the manifesto like a creed, and it has served me ever-since. I look forward to seeing the next generation of designs. Happy birthday!

Please excuse my ignorance, but if I were to submit a contribution/design to ZenGarden, how would I go about doing that? Regards, Yavor Mladenov

Amazing how the web has evolved in the 10 year since the inception of the Zen Garden. I was so inspired by the sites back then and learned so much from them. Seems like it's been longer than 10 years though. Time flies!

I cut my teeth on CSS Zen Garden and Eric Meyer on CSS. Between these 2 resources, I finally understood the separation between HTML and CSS. It was really a 'lightbulb' moment. Zen is a treasure and will be more so, when HTML5'd..

Zen Garden taught me so much about the use of CSS when I was a beginner. I cannot express enough how much I appreciated this site and how happy I am its starting over to help people learn and learn to think outside the box. Well done Zen Garden!

I remember when I didn't really believe in CSS. It looked like an unnecessary, uphill hassle. A friend told me to have a look at Zen Garden. I was obstinant at first, but the designs kept me engaged... and then, exploring someone else's css, the lights suddenly came on and I understood the elgance of the cascade. One of the few "aha" moments in my life that I truly remember. I owe you dude.

Awesome news Dave! CSSZenGarden was a huge learning tool for me all those years(10?!) ago. I'm really glad to see it's being continued. Seeing so many different viewpoints create on the same source was a huge eye-opener to potential. I'll be keeping tabs on the project again - thank you, and here's to another 10 years!
