The mountains are calling and I must go. ~ John Muir ~
The Majestic Mountains template package was updated August 2013 to make use of Google Web fonts and Google site search.
The Majestic Mountains Template uses one of the Site Templates offered on our sister site Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web - the Two Column Right Fixed Width to 1024px - as a starting point.
The equal height column look is achieved by using a background image in the style rules for the #contentWrapper. The image itself is 220x54 pixels repeated vertically.
Masthead
The masthead image is 1025px wide by 223 pixels high. The photo was taken on a trip to Grand Teton National Park. The style rules within the external style sheet include the image as the background.
Menu
The horizontal menu is based on one of those from CSS MenuMaker and tweaked to fit the look of the template.
Right Sidebar
The right sidebar can be used for additional navigation, links, and/or images.
Images
Classes have been included to float images both right and left as well as centered on the page. The image within the content of this page has a drop shadow added using a graphics editor. All images you insert should be resized to the size you want displayed NOT resized by changing the width and height within the html code.
The border above the footer uses a background image for the <div> tag. The page background is also a gradient image created by using Dynamic Drive's Gradient Image Maker.

Validation
