I've been reading this book, CSS Mastery by Andy Budd, for the last few days. It was recommended to me by a couple of people and now I'm recommending it to you.
Most of what I know about CSS is self-taught. I learned a little bit more in school, but not much. This book explains very well concepts such as child selectors, quirks mode, ems, etc. that I "kind of" grasped but didn't really understand.

Web Design Stuff
There is a really cool Firefox extention that I found today over at
Lockergnome called
Web Developer. I haven't really had time to figure out all that it can do yet, but there are tons of features. It has a css editor, view source, outline cetain page elements (tables, links w/o title attributes), the list goes on and on. I'm looking forward to see what all it can do.
Since I'm looking into working for myself, I've been checking out the web design competition. A lot of them say they work with
Drupal (a CMS). I figured I'd better post a link to remind myself to look into it.
Cool Firefox Tip
Using Firefox, I had often wondered how popups managed to still popup when I have them blocked. From
petebevin.com:
Like you, I love
Firefox for many reasons, including popup blocking. So over the last few weeks I’ve been surprised to see occasional popups.
It turns out that some clever people figured out that you could launch popups from Flash, getting around the Firefox default settings.
Fortunately, you can get around it:
- Type
about:config into the Firefox location bar. - Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer.
- Name it
privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins - Set the value to 2.
The possible values are:
- 0: Allow all popups from plugins.
- 1: Allow popups, but limit them to
dom.popup_maximum. - 2: Block popups from plugins.
- 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites.

I had my Platt College graduation ceremony today. I officially have a degree in Web Design. Whoo Hoo!
I didn't go to bed Thursday night because I thought I had to have my final web project done in order to get my degree (have I mentioned before that I'm the Queen of Procrastination™?. I found out on Friday that I was graduating regardless. In fact, I graduated with honors! Oh, well. So be it. I got the project done and off my conscience.
My friend Dave took our little party to Chilis for lunch today. YUM! I had a raspberry margarita to celebrate.
Now I have to get my design business going. Marcus is trying to drum up business for me. I haven't been to the pizza place in the last two days and it has felt so damned good.

Are there any
WYSIWYG web page editors out there that really work with
CSS? I know Dreamweaver has some
CSS capabilities, but when you use some attribute that it can't render, man does it screw it up! Kind of misses the point of using a web page editor, y'know? It's almost easier to just code it from scratch at that point.
