Fun CSS Tricks!
Although I know we haven’t started talking about CSS in class yet, this article gives us some easy and fun tricks that you can do while using CSS. The article starts out with saying how versatile and fun CSS can be and all of the fun things you can do with it, but reminds us that we need to be careful when using certain things because only a select few of browsers supports some of the things you can do with CSS. In order to protect your design for those websites that may not support some CSS things, it is important that you have what is called a fallback, which is just what it sounds like. It is something for your website to basically fallback on in the event the web browser being used does not support the CSS used on the page. This article shows some pretty cool things you can do, like growing links, blurred edges, elliptical rounding, and multiple backgrounds. They go in to detail and show you how to write the code for the various effects and such. This is interesting to me because it relates to something we will be doing soon in class. Whether or not this will be applicable to what we will be doing in class i’m not sure, but at least i’ll be able to come back to this article and maybe understand it more fully.
