Portfolio [Demo]
Margins would probably work; the rule with proximity is that it creates relevance. The closer things are together (by space or other aspects of visual separation), the more they are related. By this rule of thumb, the paragraphs in your content area…

Feedback for a Client Consultation
I believe there's a real content issue; most of all it's busy and doesn't deliver a focused message or call to action.

Portfolio design, would love your feedback
To be honest, I've had this blog longer than I've been a web developer. The content is there and established, most of it is about writing or as you said, rants... it's very likely that if someone is looking me up, they'll land on…

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_bookmarks Should be able to override the default parameters for category_before and category_after. Something like:

How to display Wordpress links without using an unordered list structure?
Just curious, are you wanting it to print out as paragraphs because of a styling issue? Semantic issue?

Portfolio [Demo]
I like that the text is big and readable. The thing I would address first is alignment: Things like the contact page existing outside the header: I might try to find some way to get a sense for alignment all the way down the page, like another backg…

Designer or Developer?
Right? Good to know I'm not the only one who thought that was weird...

What should I expect from my designer?
Is it really considered typical to communicate measurements with the designer? As a CSS dude myself, I rather look forward to the challenge of getting a sweet mockup from a good designer and finding a way to make that stuff happen. I've always …

Looking to Level Up, Designer's Attention Span
Thanks for the recommendation, but I've checked that out. Doesn't seem to handle anything more complicated than basic arrays... doesn't even get close to event handling.

Looking to Level Up, Designer's Attention Span
As just a tad more background, I'm comfortable with beginning Javascript, and most intermediate classes/tutorials/books bore me... right up until I get to events and event binding. Basically, the stuff that is SO easy to do with jQuery seems li…

Wordpress services/products
Wordpress should make this possible: You can use blog posts/categories to sort the types of products, and each blog post (product) has its own featured image. You can also make some custom fields to carry stats such as item number, price, color etc;…

Icon Fonts Implementation (with Pen)
Mmk, that makes sense. Theoretically, the fonts should work once I actually implement this all on my site. @ChrisP Thanks for the help troubleshooting!

Icon Fonts Implementation (with Pen)
Safari appears to be working fine now, it might have been my server. Still having the problem in Firefox though. I've tested on a few mobile devices and they seem to be working.

css drop down menu issue
You could try giving the menu a z-index and positioning, but harder to be more specific without some code to look at. Could you either link us the site or whip up a pen at http://codepen.io/ ?

Font Size Issues
Yeah, now that I test it again in the browser, it still upscales. In Ems it works, but seemingly not with Rems. Someone else here may know more, but at this rate I would either use Ems with the initial body-sizing in order to prevent the problem on…

Font Size Issues
Well, testing on resizing fonts in chrome, setting the body size in pixels seemed to work....

Font Size Issues
Setting the initial font-size in pixels might work? Here's a bit of an example. http://codepen.io/sloveland/pen/Eizfs Since I believe REMs get their initial size from the body, this should work, but I'm not certain how it works against t…

Responsive Design won't work on my phone!
@posterity576 hey no problem! @NoizyCr1cket glad we could help. =) Just as a little background, I believe the width=device-width helps tell the mobile browser that it doesn't need to zoom all the way out to get the "helicopter view"…

Expanding menu in fixed height container
I forked the above code and came up with a quick and easy jQuery solution that may help. I did jquery because it was, as I said, quick and easy, but this effect could be done with CSS3 transitions too (or close enough). http://codepen.io/sloveland/…

Heading styles help
That should work, it sounds like you may be having specificity issues. I made a quick demo, if you're still having problems feel free to fork it or make your own in order to replicate the problem, that way we can look at it and help more. htt…

Codekit CSS minification
I haven't tried making codekit do that, but keep in mind - starting into something like less or scss is super-easy because valid CSS IS valid syntax for those languages. Just create a less (or scss) file, copy your existing css over, point Cod…

Padding/margin that I didn't put
I also got rid of the space by adjusting the link around the image, but I believe the solution above is more elegant. regardless, here's the code: .portfolio-item > a { display: block; line-height: 1em; }

As I thought, the answer was so simple, I was thinking too complex. Thank you so much!
