Quick Tip: Grounding a site design in Google Chrome

As Google Chrome’s market share grows it has become necessary (in my pedant’s eyes) to acknowledge that some people will be viewing your site without a status bar and subsequently with no grounding or footer space. In order to combat the unsightly finish this gives to a site, I have decided to include a border-bottom: 3px solid #ccc; in the body style for the new Outside In Media site -http://outsideinmedia.co.uk

A minor issue, but also easily fixed.. so check it out.. and maybe you might want to use it in the future.
