Chapter 8

Chapter 8 shows how to create a complete home page, including flowing text around images, headers, footers, pull-quotes, background images, faux columns - a bit of everything from the other chapters.

If you are working though the Snergs example, you will find a folder called "three columns absolute header" in here that includes the starter files mentioned on pages 222 and 243. You don't need to go to the Components folder (Chapter 7), as directed in the book, to get the footer file - it's already in this folder. Also, the finished files (an absolute positioned and a negative margin positioned version) are included here too.
