CSS-Tricks Screencasts

pThere is no shortage of documentation on WordPress#8217; famous content-spewing structure, but I still feel like there is more confusion and mystery surrounding #8220;The Loop#8221; than there should be. In this screencast I try and explain what it is, how hellip;/p

pTextMate is a mac-only code editor. Sorry to all the PC users this time around. If you#8217;ve been watching these screencasts for a long time, you know I used to mostly use Coda. Since I#8217;ve been working a lot more hellip;/p

pFair warning: more rambling than usual. Listen to my thoughts about SEO. What I think I know is that SEO is a series of fairly obvious best practices. A SEO service that helps you with those things can be good, hellip;/p

pRoll over a link, watch the image above change. That#8217;s what we build in this screencast, only we don#8217;t use any JavaScript to do it. The trick is some simple z-index switching on hover and a bit of absolute positioning.hellip;/p
