I was doing some styling in CSS for a project recently and had an idea for changing the way I write CSS. I have been learning and using CSS for about 2 years.

GetHundos is a startup that has recently gone into beta. GetHundos is a social networking site for college students. Right now it is open exclusively to University of Washington students and their friends. Today, I signed up for this fun service and tested it out.
