Logo critique
One of the first things I saw that would be possible point of improvement is the gaps in the e and the a are so different. Maybe if they were the same distance apart it would lend consistency. I'm not much of a typographer though. Love the cri…

IE10 mobile/touch :hover navigation problem
Also, modenizr has a test for touch events, so you could write specific event handlers for that stuff.

IE10 mobile/touch :hover navigation problem
In general, just totally avoid core functionality that is only shown on :hover. In mobile webkit you are right, if the element has a :hover (but no href) it will stay in it's :hover state after you tap it once. That's a bummer Window Pho…

WHICH BETTER? - blog.[domain].com or [domain]/blog.com ?
I don't think it matters that much either. I can tell you that at CodePen, we have our blog at blog.codepen.io - the reason being that you can set different DNS records for different subdomains. This gives us the ability to host that blog at a …

Slideshow not working in toggle tabs
What you might want to try is to wait to initialize the slider until after the window is loaded. It looks like the widths of the list items in the slider are programmatically calculated. That calculation could be wrong if the image isn't done l…

IE not respecting z-index
Hey Aaron, I'm not sure this is a z-index issue. In looking in IE 8 on Windows 7, it looks like the ul.sub-menu-wrap is staying display: none; even when the mouse is over it. So maybe it's a JavaScript issue?

Feedback on screencasts, pretty please!
I struggle with that length thing too. I went long in a lot of the Lodge videos, but I know that most people prefer short and I know I do too. I've started a new series and I'm trying to stay under 10. These are great Andy, keep going!

Wordpress Exclude Category (not working?)
In the code you've posed here, you haven't included any category removal. It needs to be in the arguments you pass WP_Query. $args = array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'post_type' => 'product', …

A Guide To Using CodePen - Help Us Help You.
This is excellent, thanks for doing this Andy! Rather than make it sticky, I'm going to noodle it for a day or two and figure out the best plan. I might make a new little module thing by the New Discussion button in the sidebar that links to im…

Compass & Codekit - either or, or both?
Definitely get CodeKit. It compiles your Sass for you and then later on you can dig into Compass.

Using IDs in CSS selectors?
Here is my article on the subject. One of them, anyway: http://css-tricks.com/a-line-in-the-sand/ Also worth noting that I haven't anywhere else yet. The biggest problem with ID's is the super high specificity that easily can bite you on …

Ease Action Causes Text Flash
This is essentially this huge bug in WebKit. I'd call it a bug anyway. You can apply the "thinned out" text look by applying a benign 3D transform to the area with text. That way it won't jump to that thinned out look on hover. B…

CodePen Like/Heart Counter
Yah essentially that's it. Unfortunately there isn't some modular component that makes sense to open source. Each Pen and each User have data models. When a user clicks a heart, it sends a little Ajax call to the server which updates info…

Ad not showing up in Safari on CSS-Tricks.com
Does it only show up when the screen is wide? I do have width-based media queries and you might just be seeing it drop down lower on the page. Can't seem to replicate otherwise. Screenr would be useful!

CSS Vertical-align challenge
I don't feel quite as strongly about it. I do stick to the sentiment that if you just use a bunch of divs and set their display properties to the various table stuff and think you're being "more semantic" that's still a litt…

jQuery animate an image up and down on hover
So... without jQuery, a little hover that moves an image up can be easily done in CSS. Here's a barebones example: http://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/vDBCI

Dissapearing pictures (Firefox / Mac OSX)
Hey! I just upgraded to Firefox 17.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.8.2 and the polaroid effect works great for me. No disappearing. OH WAIT. I just read the end of your post about rapidly mousing over them and I can indeed get them to disappear. Playing around…
