  • Responsive multi column text with CSS / Fallback

    Here are the examples provided in the ALA-article. It shows up in columns, but not every time. Sometimes I have to reload the page before the JS fires up. Doesn't seem very reliable.

    @BenWalker I'm not sure either of those matter necessarily, but obviously you want a name that is memorable and easy to communicate with others (it has to be spelled how it sounds). It seems that many people split the syllables "un&q…

    @chrisburton That's a little hard to explain. My lastname is quite similar to a word with a delicate meaning in german. It's not exactly that word but close. So it's not one you gotta be ashamed of but still not usable as a business n…

    @ChadL Thanks for that inspiration. I'm still not quite happy with and like new ideas and helpful tips. @rctonnie and @marshallford Readability is the biggest problem I see. Cause like you said the name isn't common which makes it really …

  • What about colours on web designing

    I like http://www.colourlovers.com/ to explore and search for color schemes. Sometimes I got a base color in mind and chose a color scheme to match that one. Where to put each color depends on the look you want to achieve. I usually just play around…

  • How can i take a full length snap shot of my web page

    I have this extension for Google Chrome for that which works perfectly: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/awesome-screenshot-captur/alelhddbbhepgpmgidjdcjakblofbmce You can take either full page screenshots or just a selection.

  • how do you compile LESS -> on a live WordPress site?

    I don't like the Github app, altough I tried it only on Windows. I use SmartGit on Windows now as a GUI and I soppose on Mac there are better apps as well, e.g. Tower.

  • Personal site review (responsive layout)

    @supperman I like the design and the responsiveness of it. Except the typography but that has been mentioned already. I'm missing the main navigation on large screensizes, though. It disappears at about ~1000px width. Maybe it's meant to …

  • Modified Don't Overthink It Grids and Styling

    @David_Leitch Where would you apply your .grid-pad class then? I tried on both .container and .grid but in each case I got the result that the right column is smaller than the other because it gets padding right and left.

  • OOCSS - Spacing between items

    Sadly though, this uses the * selector, although I don't think that the performance difference should be too big really. Cool solution, but I think that might might only work for smaller sites. Cause on a really heavy site with thousands o…

  • OOCSS - Spacing between items

    Yes you're right, I see the performance problem with a * selector. I would use the > selector for your example, though. That would prevent other elements in deeper in there from getting a padding. I still hope there is any better way to giv…

  • OOCSS - Spacing between items

    Would it maybe be a solution to just have .art-container > * { padding: 0 20px; } .art-container > .art-full-width { padding: 0; } or do you think the * selector could cause problems? EDIT: The * selector might be too slow.

  • OOCSS - Spacing between items

    @Paulie_D I just posted one that immitates his picture ;) Is has weird margin fix in it already. But I'm sure there is a better way.

  • Modified Don't Overthink It Grids and Styling

    I'm having the same problem right now. Any solution on this so far? The solution of Matt Berridge did not work for me because the negative margin on .grid makes its parent element .page-wrap wider to the left. And therefore the whole thing wou…

  • OOCSS - Spacing between items

    As for the date element I would maybe place the heading and the date both within a element. Then you can just apply the margin to that one without worrying about the markup in there. I had the other padding problem myself a while ago. I ended …

  • Insert SASS Mixin variable in comment

    Ah it is even in there. Someone should definitely write a nicer doc for SASS.

  • Insert SASS Mixin variable in comment

    Awesome, works perfectly! Thanks @rosspenman. Do you know online resource where I can look something like that up myself next time? I could not find it in the official SASS reference that one is hard to read I think.

    @chrisburton Sorry for beeing stupid again, it is not a typeface but I think you still understood it. I'll see if my (still very limited) skillset can produce something better.

  • WHICH BETTER? - blog.[domain].com or [domain]/blog.com ?

    Nice tip there @chriscoyier that can be quite handy. In my mind, having a specific feature of a website (blog, gallery, tool, etc.) on a subdomain, creates the illusion of it beeing somewhat separate. So I would expect maybe a special layout/naviga…

    @chriscoyier Thanks for the additional input, I'll give that a shot. I'm not at all a typo guy as well but I at least want to try to solve this with something selfmade. Having watched countless screencasts and talks by you and now getting …

    I wonder if I should maybe just go with a "normal" semibold script font to assure readability?!

  • How to Remove Underline

    The problem is that you did not give the underline to the h1 element but instead to the parent a element. So to remove that underline you would have to give the a tag text-decoration:none; not the h1. Like this

    @chrisburton Thanks clearing that up. But wouldn't that be a bit like adding serifs? I really want to keep the style as simple as possible. Sorry I'm not a typo guy at all.

    @chrisburton I don't really get what you mean with tail. I'm not a native speaker so it might just be me interpreting the wrong thing. Sorry for beeing stupid about that ;)
