cssEdit – great editing program, sorry Mac only

By Dennis Guten on February 18, 2008 No Comments

A few weeks ago I bought this software bundle from Macheist where you get 14 shareware apps for $47, all for Mac OS X. The reason I bought it was that cssEdit was part of the bundle and I was just about to plunk down $30 on it alone. So of course I got the bundle and it has many very cool apps, some I will use, some I won’t. They do these bundles a few times a year and part of the money goes to charity.
So cssEdit is part edit css (a Firefox extension that lets you view changes as you change the css) and part inspect element (a Mac OS X Safari plug-in that lets you highlight an element on the page and see the cascade of css from that element).

The cssEdit program does both, plus lets you upload changes to your hmtl or php pages and then refresh within cssEdit and see the changes while still retaining the ability to interact with the css.

It’s quite amazing once you start to figure out all the program options and features. It has made me much more productive when working with css on sites.

The only thing I have not figured out how to do (I think) is to use the “pretend we are using Internet Explorer” feature. Gotta figure that one out, cuz as we all know, if a site is gonna break, it’s most likely gonna break under IE 6 or 7.

Too bad this one is only for Apple computers. I have a few friends that could use this on a PC too. If I figure out that IE option I will post it here.

Figuring out how to modify WordPress

By Dennis Guten on November 29, 2006 No Comments

I have been fighting to get into WordPress since last week and finally I am in. I am playing around with the templates and trying to modify them with my own images, which i think I have been ok at.

There is a learning curve here and I can tell I will need to do some reading to figure out how the PHP (of which i know just a smattering of) and the CSS (know that pretty well) work together with this site.

Overall though, I like this interface a whole lot better than blogger, which I thought was pretty limited. (I ported over the old posts from there).

Here’s to learning…

One silly little word

By Dennis Guten on November 7, 2006 No Comments

Boy, talk about frustration. I have been working for like 2 weeks on this new layout for one of the web sites at work and finally uploaded it yesterday morning.

Chaos soon ensued after I uploaded. the stupid Internet Explorer kept making my navigation system totally vanish, while it was fine in Firefox (my browser of choice now).

After both my co-worker Darren and I messed with it for hours, it seemed to get much worse.

It turns out that files were being uploaded from his computer to the wrong folders and we kept having more and more problems.

It all came down to the word “index” which was missing from my CSS file name (this controls the look of the whole site).

Put that in and presto…all is well…except for the headaches both Darren and I took home of course.

This reminds me of when I was a child and building things with Lego’s. You would get it all built and that last piece would not fit because the structure was too tight and then the whole thing would burst apart.
