Last Leaf Designs | Web Designer » CSS Reference via SitePoint

I would always complain about CSS this, CSS that, IE’s a pain, I heart FF, why won’t everyone just use any browser other than IE, blah blah. I have to say though that I really love what I do, it’s frustrating, it gives me nightmares and sleepless nights sometimes but I love it. However, when someone would ask me to teach them CSS, I just couldn’t.

I usually answer with what do you want to know? Which in turn will be answered with everything even though something specific would be nice. Or I would tell them to look at other sites across the web, do what they do and once you’ve understood it then stop looking at other people’s codes (unless you see something really, really cool) — I usually get the feeling that I’m boasting or making them go away so I don’t say that anymore.

BUT, that’s how I really started and Becca could vouch for it. I had some problems with another blog owner in the past and I don’t want it to happen again so what I did was I asked for her permission to look at her codes because I want to learn how to create a site that looks like table but is not using tables. hehe

From there I learned little by little, usually from my own mistakes. I only coded for IE then — until I realized that there are other browsers then I forgot IE until I read that browser support is important etc, etc. Until now, I can’t tell anyone all of the CSS style rules that I usually use off the top of my head because my memory is already rusty.

I really don’t know why I’m saying these things when all I really want to say is that I just found out that SitePoint released a CSS Reference that I think would be helpful for people who want to learn CSS — actually even to me. I only skimmed it but I think it’s nice. I love sitepoint.

And look, all it took was three sentences and one paragraph. Hurrah for unnecessary long introductions and nonsensical closing.
