Can't wait to get my hands on the Dragon Age Toolset...

Looking for CSS lessons?

, ,

I can't help it, but for a few days now people come to my blog with questions about modifying their blog. I can help most of them (in some cases I even write some code for them), but all in all I think I should start a small beginners guide, including the latest features of MyOpera.

I'm no CSS wizard, but I can handle CSS pretty well in most cases, so I'm often not aware of problems you can stumble upon. But I'm willing to write a small "1 CSS lesson per week" here if people are interested. I think we should start with the most basic stuff, then learn about the basic attributes and end up in creating our own themes. If you have any other suggestions... this is your place to go.

See the full post for the list of lessons... :coffee:

Until I have replacements I'll list the old lessons here. Beware that those often require a certain level of understanding:

Heyyyyy, David! Wooooooo, I hadn't been here in a while. The last time I was here, you had that awesome Chocolate Babe up in your various Headers. :yes:

I've been pretty busy myself helping other Opera Community Members with snazzing up their Blog Themes. More recently I've been working on Christmas Blogs.

Anyway, yeah, I'm always on the lookout for New CSS Code, Tricks & Treats. :up: And now that I see you have a series of CSS Tutorials, I'll be sending my friend Maryam over here. She's pretty sharp with Photoshop, but has been wanting to learn some CSS to go hand in hand with that. So, I'm sure she'll be delighted to learn whatever you have in your tutorials.

I'll be looking at them myself. You're bound to have something new since I as here last.
