Real or Hoax, Web Design

This is something that was supposed to be done a few months ago, and I ran out of time and just left this on my blog as a draft for the past few months. I have decided since I likely won't ever finish it I may as well publish it so you can see what I had done. So, y'know, while looking at this keep in mind it is NOT done and so probably won't look as good as everything else.

We spent time making a layout for this website, in order to give it a little more dynamic in comparison to past websites with the side bar and what not. The colors were up to us, and I am very happy with the colors that I picked for all of it.
Process
We started off with the layout as mentioned but the CSS itself and the design was up to us, I.E. whether or not to have the menu on the left or the right. I made a layout to copy off of and just renamed each page and changed the content to match what was needed.
Learning (yaay)
I learned that CSS is an amazing thing. No but really, we had so much CSS that it would have been a nightmare to make it for every single page and manage other things in the same code because it would have been super cluttered. But also, with CSS I learned that you can make codes more specific then others, for example I used #sidebar ul li a:hover just for the links in the sidebar, rather then having all links filed under a:hover, because then any links used would have the same format, and would thus look really out of place.
