CSS layout review - Nautica X
The Nautica series has always been my favorite since its first layout, Nautica01. The newly designed layout, Nautica X, has managed to capture my attention upon its release
This new CSS blog layout has adopted a top horizontal navigation menu together with a nicely placed sidebar stretch. The footer is also nicely done to display clearly the necessary credits.

The CSS file is very well-documented to help the users in customizing the template to their own needs. This is by far the most comprehensive comments I saw in a CSS file
What surprise me further is the small file size of the entire template.. with only 480KB including the images, this template is designed to pump out at the fastest speed to your users’ screen.
In terms of Search Engine Optimization, this layout also fare nicely with the usage of standard headers for the headlines. Just create a unique title for every page and your blog will be ready for the bots visit
Nautica X comes with valid CSS and XHTML. It has also been tested to work in IE6-7, Firefox, Opera, and Safari for OSX.
