  • My client insists that Mailto links don't work in FF and Chrome but they do !

    They are working for me. It could be that they don't have an email client set up so they won't work. I know on my home computer I don't, so no mailto links work for me on there. That's my best guess. I'd ask them if mailto l…

    I don't use codekit since I'm on Windows, but you should be able to go in your project configuration and adjust the Output Mode to Compressed

  • Fittext.js Issue

    I really don't need that transition on there at all. I think for now I will just take it out. I think my frustration got in the way of seeing this clearly. Thank you !!!!!

  • Selecting a classless paragraph

    Yes you should be able to. You can target a paragraph within a certain div or other element, you'll just have to get specific in your css. Let's say you have a div class of "text" and you want to style that paragraph text differe…

  • Thesis, Wordpress, and SEO benefits for my client

    It looks like that theme just has basic SEO built in to it and is just using it as a sales point. In my opinion, it's definitely not worth that kind of money especially when there are free SEO plugins out there that are just as good, if not bet…

  • Background Picture

    It sounds like all you need is something like this: body {background:url("your image path") top center no-repeat;} This will keep the image static and won't resize the background image at all, but if you have a larger screen, it wi…

    Try changing your background to this for #canvas: background: url(images/michael.png") no-repeat right transparent;

  • What do you use to design with?

    It's also a bad choice especially if you're starting out or still somewhat new to coding (not that I'm implying you are) and writing your own css since it has that feature where you can just click an "Edit Rule" of "CSS…

  • Personal Website Critique

    I think I agree with the hover effect on the category. In my opinion, I don't think there needs to be one at all, usually a hover effect indicates a link which in this case it isn't. I think my only other suggestion would be maybe putting…

  • Comments WordPress

    Hmm.. I'm assuming this code is all in a separate comments.php file? I think you may be missing this bit of code at the end of your comments.php file after you last : Tough to say for me to be sure without looking at your actual files.

  • SEO factor affecting web visibility in search results ?

    At the moment, having fresh current content is a pretty big thing. If you have a blog or something on your site, it's usually a good idea to at least display your most recent article or articles somewhere on there. For the company I work for, …

  • IE10 - What do you think of it?

    I also heard about Microsoft warning not to use their browser, and I happened to share it around my office :). In my opinion, it doesn't really matter to me how good IE10 is, you still have to develop around all of the other terrible IE version…

  • Please explain this code to me-ems and px

    I believe that the number after the / would be your line height. So for the h1, 1.75em would be your font size and the 1.1429 would be your line height. His comment is probably just what those values equal in pixels since they are easier to keep tra…

  • Codekit - Windows Alternative

    This may have been what you were looking for though. Live Reload has a Windows version, but it's in alpha testing right now so I don't exactly trust it just yet and the method I stated above works perfectly, and I actually like that the co…

  • Codekit - Windows Alternative

    The method I do for Windows is I use Scout and have that running in the background and code using Adobe Brackets which has a live css edit feature like CodeKit or when you use CodePen.

  • Has anyone used the CMS Concrete5?

    Thanks guys. I think I'll give Concrete5 a try. It seems more suiting to what I need for this site.

  • Has anyone used the CMS Concrete5?

    Is it pretty easy to pick up? I have a small 6 to 8 page site and they want to be able to edit it themselves. I was going to just do wordpress since it's what I know, but they definitely don't need that type of power, just the ability to s…

  • :first-child is not working for me...

    First, you need a period in front of your class (.item-page). Next, you need to move the :first-child behind the 'a'. So it will look like this instead: .item-page h2 a:first-child

  • Crazy Fluid 2 Column CSS Design

    I haven't had much time to take a good look, but the reason when shrinking the browser size the sidebar shows up before the content is because you have the sidebar coded in before the content. If you move the code for the sidebar below the cont…

  • Thoughts on parallax scrolling websites

    I also started thinking, yeah these effects can be pretty awesome, but it can also distract from the content, or in my case for my portfolio, my other works.

  • Thoughts on parallax scrolling websites

    I was pretty impressed by them at first and my portfolio site needs a new redesign so I got all excited thinking I wanted to do this type of site and even started a mock up for it. Once I got past the new excitement I think I started realizing it ma…
