Experiment Log

This is what I am up to:

  • Learning CSS
  • Practicing that CSS
  • Training the kitten to behave

Exciting Notes

CSS Shorthands and Properties:

    Font - Shorthand properties:
  • font-style
  • font-variant
  • font-weight
  • font-size/line-height
  • font-family
    Link Changes: Order Required
  • a:link (normal)
  • a:visited
  • a:hover
  • a:active

A cool new topic: pseudo-class (like "hover" or "focus") and pseudo-element (like "first-line"!)

Change Log

7/13: I still have more to learn with Flexbox to be fluid, but I'm moving on to JavaScript! Try this:



7/12: Working on FlexBox. It's satisfying! But I want to make the nav bar on the left expand to full screen width only when it's pushed into a column format. Not finding how to do that yet, without doing a media pull.

7/11: Learning about responsive styling (for screen sizes). Have kind of figured out a Nav Bar layout. Figuring out how to create hover- or focus-based changes. Like this!

7/10: Updating ways to center the boxes.
Got a gradient from Josh W. Comeau's site.

Is it Christmas?
maybe

Writing

This is mainly an experiment to look at styling larger bodies of text like paragraphs. I'm going to ramble here a bit just to fill space.

The thing I most want to ramble about right now is Sal, my Monster of the Week character. He's a "retired" mechanic for the mob, who now just works at a grocery store and has started hunting monsters with the local weirdos. We're investigating a college chem lab this week.

Playing a character for MotW has been really cool already. I missed running games, but any way of getting to play in this system rocks.

Another update: today we play Session Two! Hope we all survive.
