You're going to laugh at what I did here. Thoughts?
I'm a little confused. This seems really fundamental and I don't really see anything ground-breaking - but I want to believe its there. So what is incredible? I don't see any reason this shouldn't work all the way back to ie6.

Seeking Perfect Typographic CSS
Hello @molte Here are a few resources that talk about applying typographic style to the web. These aren't pointless "Top 8 Awesome Examples" type articles. You may actually learn something here. lol. http://webtypography.net/toc/ h…

Doing more with ::selection than changing the selection color. [question]
@chriscoyier - Your wish of testing on ::selection has been granted. I put together a little demo page explaining what the spec 'did' say (before ::selection was removed), and using short bits of text styled with different ::selection prop…

The Point of No Return?
@Uareanoob - first off, kudos for 1) seeking to expand your knowledge, 2) learning more about your craft, 3) evaluating your work objectively, and 4) admitting that something is very very wrong. For many people of all ages (let alone 16-18), those s…

Increasing Font Size With A Button
@zackw - If you roll with the implementation that @chriscoyier suggested, you may also want to consider addressing other visual impairments, like color blindness, which can effect the perception of contrast. Veerle Pieters has implemented a 'h…

Doing more with ::selection than changing the selection color. [question]
@chriscoyier - That definitely would be a fun guest post. If I come up with anything I'll let you know. I'm hell bent on making this work, so once I defeat my ignorance of javascript I'll update everyone. I have a solution in my head…

Doing more with ::selection than changing the selection color. [question]
If I remember correctly, I've seen an example of this being used to 'reveal' an image that is only visible when text blocks are selected, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone knows of this, please post.

Side Scrolling Portfolio Site
@mixxmac @jdleblanc - hey thanks guys! There are quite a few tricks in there that make this possible, white-space being a biggie. Notice also that the img tags within the portfolio ul are styled with "vertical-align: top;" Without that, th…

Side Scrolling Portfolio Site
@jdleblanc - Hello again! I posted my last comment, then started to think through how to accomplish a side-scrolling site with images, and realized there were probably a few tricky parts. So I dove into code, and created the site in about 45 minutes…

Side Scrolling Portfolio Site
You're right @jdleblanc - it just depends on what your portfolio is of. If it's there to display your web design skills, you may not want to use a side-scrolling layout. Illustrations, photography, and images of work all seem appropriate. …

Side Scrolling Portfolio Site
Hey jdleblanc, my first inclination is to ask, "why side-scrolling?" I'm just wondering. I think its okay for a personal site or a portfolio site - depending on what you want that site to accomplish. What kind of work do you hope to a…

WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine
@infocentre - I'm afraid that nothing I could say would lead to improvement on your site. Did you read the "Elements of Content Strategy" book? Its a one-day read. Did you seriously consider screen resolution or how a grid system may …

Best mac for webdesign?
@springlab - *high five, you get it!* @jimsilverman - Sorry if that stung. It wasn't meant to be personal; but I'm 'passionate' - generic, I know - about the web. -bro hug- Here's the rub; Professional designers often get …

WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine
*sarcasm* Yeah, 8% isn't a big deal at all. Let's forget about accessibility too! Like only 5 people on the internet are blind and use screen-readers, didn't you know? Who cares about those dudes anyways?! They're outta-luck! *sa…

Best mac for webdesign?
I've only read the last 6 comments, but from what I can tell this has turned into a 'status' debate. Personally, I've found that first meetings are best held without technology off the table. When a laptop is placed on the table,…

WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine
Have you noticed that your site doesn't display within the viewport in resolutions at 1024x768 and below? 'Below' isn't that big of a deal, but you really need to scale down to fit 1024x768.

Cool vertical parallax page scroll effect.
@TheDoc - yup, subtle effects are very nice. I think I remember a post a few weeks ago asking for examples of 'easter eggs', and while this may not match that full definition, I still think its a special reward for those who notice it. T…

Cool vertical parallax page scroll effect.
Yeah, I agree with you guys, it is mighty jerky if you have a scroll mouse which step-scrolls (for lack of a better term). I wonder if there is a smoother way of creating that effect.

WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine
@infocentre - My opinions are not my own. They come from objective knowledge of real-life case studies... and how are they untrue, or uncalled for? Show me data, and I'll show you mine. It may be hard to hear, but you need to be objective if th…

WEBSITE REVIEW: Online Magazine
@infocentre - I know you want your online magazine to feel much like a real magazine, but herein lies the problem. An online magazine is not a magazine. If you start to break apart from the ideas behind a traditional magazine experience, and sta…

Quick jQuery question
I wrote a quick example of what TheDoc was talking about; http://jsfiddle.net/9kfGT/2/ You definitely do not need JavaScript for this, and CSS is the better option.

What do customers look for in a portfolio?
On the topic of favorite code-writing program, I've used many, but am very pleased with Komodo Edit on the PC. I have Dreamweaver as part of CS5, but I find it to be too bloated for my front-end work.

Background image aspect ratio with fixed height
@BarsikSoftPaws - I'm a little confused as to what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to create a header that spans the width of the browser window, but has a fixed height of 400px, I can help you very quickly. This is basic CSS, a…

Beautiful fonts used on css-tricks
Hey Chris, while I agree that there isn't a great natively supported fallback for narrow sans serif fonts, you may want to consider a similar font, Steelfish (http://www.dafont.com/steelfish.font?text=FORUMS), in future projects. Alternative …
