I've received several nice comments about the design of this site. I wish I could take all the credit for it but the truth is that I created it using the Visual C# Personal Design template that Microsoft provides.

The Design Templates web site provides several ASP.NET Design Starter Kit Templates that allow you to create web sites using some predefined look and feel options. When you install these templates they become available to you in Visual Studio when you create a new web site. This is how my Visual Studio 2005 Express looks like with the Personal Design Template installed.

For the UI impared developer like me these templates are amazing. They are ready to use, attractive, and allow us to learn by example. The one that I am using comes with master pages, themes, and site maps.
