What do ninjas and CSS coders have in common?

Lots.

Ninjas and CSS coders are both light on their feet. Agile, lithe, pantherish, they can jump the curb, climb the roof, break out of the box as the occasion demands.

Ninjas and CSS coders can also change their appearance at whim: the body remains the same, but the skin transforms to suit the context.

This page is a more streamlined version of the venerable CSS exercise CSS Zen Garden, which invites designers to code new skins for a sample page without changing the page's HTML. To try your hand at modifying this page, download this zipped version of the site and tweak the background images and CSS to your liking.

Good luck!
