Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Ya know, I really wanted to save this for my official CSSBoost website launch, but I'm just itching to get this all down before I forget.

If you don't already know from my twitters and other ramblings, I've recently trained and started a group of freelancers working …

Man time really flies. I was just posting a couple months ago about how I would be back in the market hunting again, and my contract (even though it was short) is already done with and I'm already moving back into the market again.

This last contract has been a …

No Really, DL's Are For Dictonaries

So, I run into alot of guys that do CSS, just because I can't keep my trap shut about it. I absolutely, 100% love Web Standards. With that comes the oh so powerful CSS. Thats just part of the territory.

If your new to it, a big part of Web Standards is that your …

Hey was it you or Keith who told me about sober.com in relation to hopeshow.tv? Wanted to get in touch about that site + other things and also just to touch base post barcamp.

PS Have you checked out the site yet? We just posted our 5th episode...

Oh yeah, email would work fine if no skype.

What's new Ken?
Do you have a skype account? I have a sales opportunity that would be quite complimentary with web design. Anyway, send a message (so as not to post it in comments) w/ your skype name an I'll run it by you to see if it something you would be interested in. A good way to supplement your income w/ good money at no cost to you.

That was fast, thank you for the links. It is amazing how knowing the correct terminology can make a world of difference when looking something up online. What I have done so far on the Meridian Gate profile has been so much easier than when I first started working on my own several months ago. The language is making sense finally. I'm still not dreaming in CSS (haha), but I'll get there. The goal is to write pretty (girlie) code in my sleep.

Hey ken, how's life? I'm working on a profile for a friend I was hoping you could take a look at (Meridian Gate Kung Fu).The problem I am having is the left side, center, and right side divs. My issue is they don't seem to continue to the footer at the bottom of the profile. I want to change the background colors and add a border between the divs. Only the border and background color stops at the end of the last module not the end of the page. I'm hoping it is a simple fix. If not, then perhaps you could direct me to a tutorial. I put a right-side border on the left side div so you can see what I'm talking about.

Hah! I just figured it out. It's like 1:30am, but I got it nonetheless. I put the still gif in #connect ul li "a" not #connect ul li. It is the simple stuff that trips me up for days. Thanks for all your help.

Omar Blasgen, Jul 25, 2007:

Ok made it work with text-indent, but I get what you are saying about text-indent vs. padding. As for the still gif vs. animated gif...I thought I had that too. In #connect ul li I put the still gif, in #connect ul li a:hover I put the animated one. when the link is hovered upon the animated gif shows up, but the still one does not disappear. perhaps #connect ul li is not the correct div for the still one? Thanks for the comment on the profile, I think I'm starting to get the hang of designing (a little bit anyway lol).

Omar Blasgen, Jul 24, 2007:

Hey Ken,
good to see your still alive. When you have a minute, would you take a look at my profile. I need some help with the connect links. I am using an animated gif for hovering, but am in need of a tutorial to make the still version (non-hover) disappear when hovered upon. Also I would like some advise on moving the image left more while containing the script to the right. I like the beard, has "Self-made" written all over it.
