(h)onder(d)hond.com/100 posts jubilee
It's probably not smart making Dutch puns on a site which has an international audience, but I just couldn't resist. After 245 days of blogging, I finally added my 100th post. A nice milestone that deserves a little attention and reflection. It's also a good time to tell you something more about the whole Onderhond deal I guess.
css type selectors/designing the semantic web
html and css are closely connected, no doubt about that. When we style a web document we do it through the mark-up of the document. It's one of the pillars of modern web design and we all take it for granted. But take a closer look and you'll find that this way of working isn't always as logical as it sounds. This article will focus on the way html and css coexist and the effect this should have on the way we write our css.
html vs css pt4/div-wrapped
This will be the final article in my little series on leaner css at the expense of slightly more convoluted html. The previous entries gathered fairly mixed reactions, which was pretty much the point of writing them. These methods of writing html and css are based on ideals and interpretation, it is only natural that each person will have their own views on them. As long as I got that across, the articles were a success. This last entry will focus on div-wrapping html elements with rigid structures. Buckle up.
catering to the impatient/ready, set, go!
Maybe it's a trend, maybe it's just cheer luck or maybe it's just in my face a lot. But lately, there seems to have been quite some talk about page loads, rendering speed and file size in relation to front-end code. Things I usually care very little about, as I consider them mostly as problems from the past (especially when they are related to html and css files). But some people seem to disagree, as a few comments and an article by Jens Meiert will illustrate.
guest article 02/analyzing css
From time to time it's nice being a guest at someone else's website. They go through all the trouble to make sure people read your article. On the other hand, there's more pressure to deliver an article about an agreed topic and you provide content for their readers. I was royally late with the following article on css nesting issues, but I guess the result turned out quite well.
