Big Daddy takes the team on a field trip to show them a ghost, but is it a trap? Only the ghost knows.  A giant slug was the source of the moan Clawing Kain right down to the bone Upon death, an explosion Raining acidic corrosion Until Abed dropped like a stone.

The position property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element. There are five different position values: Static, Relative, Fixed, Absolute, Sticky Properties: top, bottom, left, right, z-index, clip (Clips an absolutely positioned element) Static HTML elements are positioned static by default. Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties. An element with position: static; is not positioned in any special way; it is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page: Relative positioned relative to its normal position. Setting the top, right, bottom, and left properties of a relatively-positioned element will cause it to be adjusted away from its normal position. Other content will not be adjusted to fit into any gap left by the element. Fixed positioned relative to the viewport, which means it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. The top, right, bottom, and left properties are used to position the element. A fixed element does not leave a gap in the page where it would normally have been located. Absolute positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed). However; if an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling. Sticky positioned based on the user’s scroll position. A sticky element toggles between relative and fixed, depending on the scroll position. It is positioned relative until a given offset position is met in the viewport – then it “sticks” in place (like position:fixed). Overlapping Elements When elements are positioned, they can overlap other elements. The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed in front of, or behind, the others). An element can have a positive or negative stack order. An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order. Note: If two positioned elements overlap without a z-index specified, the element positioned last in the HTML code will be shown on top.

Document Object Model (DOM) Taken from w3schools.com – The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document.” The W3C DOM standard is separated into 3 different parts: Core DOM – standard model for all document types XML DOM – standard model for XML documents HTML DOM – standard model for HTML documents The HTML DOM is a standard object model and programming interface for HTML. It defines: The HTML elements as objects The properties of all HTML elements The methods to access all HTML elements The events for all HTML elements In other words: The HTML DOM is a standard for how to get, change, add, or delete HTML elements.

What is a fixed position footer? The concept of taking a footer that more than likely doesn’t sit at the bottom of a screen comfortably and forcing it to stay put at the bottom of the screen. This is ideal if you have information there that you would like people to have a constant view on. Ie, social links, navigation links, contact information <footer id=”footer”> Content goes here. </footer> #footer {   position:fixed;   left:0px;   bottom:0px;   Height:30px; <!–Is it needed?

Importance of a testing site You never want to put your code out on an active website if it hasn’t been tested first. Most importantly – Can break any or all aspects of what is already out May not show up Content may not be ready to go live, but you still want to see what it’s going to look like or stage it for release A couple different ways Use a subdomain as your testing site ideal for hand-coded websites as well as wordpress sites (hand-coded sites is easier to transfer via ftp vs redoing the work for wordpress sites) Schaffencreative.com would have a subdomain of testing.schaffencreative.com Do everything on the testing site while using a “coming soon” page or plugin on the real domain Use GitHub to manage hand-coded work (useful links below) Using GIT to Manage a Live Website What is GITHub And Why Should Your Digital Team Use It. Use a WordPress Plugin I’ve never explored this option Use your local machine (computer) to create and test your site Should be for more experienced developers only Labor intensive to set up and get running Resources; Set up a local server How to create a local WordPress site using XAMPP Other excellent resource: How to Create a WordPress Staging Site for All Your WordPress Testing Needs To sum up: ALWAYS TEST YOUR CODE FIRST Twitter @SchaffenCreate @tommnorman Website: https://www.schaffencreative.com   The post Eps 33: Testing Sites appeared first on Schaffen Creative.

Steps: 1.)    Login via FTP 2.)    Find the main index page of your theme 3.)    Download via FTP SAVE THE ORIGINAL COPY AS A SEPARATE FILE SO YOU CAN EASILY REPLACE ANY CHANGES/ERRORS 4.)    Edit page accordingly. For example:       Remove sidebar code      Remove main page code       Add new sections using html – basic HTML, Bootstrap or any other framework compatible with WordPress      Test your changes, experiment with removing different sections      Search online for tutorials on how to utilize WordPress code to its fullest extent 5.)    Save document as front-page.php       Wordpress looks for front-page.php if it exists and uses that as home 6.)    Upload new front-page document to the root of your wordpress site where index.php lives 7.)    Login to wordpress 8.)    Go to pages Create a new page Call it whatever you want 9.)    Go to your settings section.       In settings there is an option to select a specific home page and a specific blog page. 10.) Select whatever page you created as your specific  home page 11.) DON’T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS 12.) You are now ready to go to your created page and add content. Next week I’ll discuss how to add multiple editable sections to your page editor so you can work around custom content, or simply just have separate chunks of content/code.

A mixin allows developers to create reusable CSS blocks. This helps avoiding writing repetitive code. Also allows to make quick changes without searching code for every instance. @mixin image-rotate { margin: 20px auto 0 auto; -moz-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out; -o-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out; -ms-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out; transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out; } @mixin image-rotate-hover { -moz-transform: rotate(360deg); -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); -o-transform: rotate(360deg); -ms-transform: rotate(360deg); transform: rotate(360deg); } img#norm { @include image-rotate; } img#norm:hover{ @include image-rotate-hover; } Sitepoint example A mixin can take Sass data values as arguments. These values are specified when you define the mixin and given when you @include the mixin. The arguments are then passed to the mixin as variables. Arguments are included in a comma separated list enclosed in parentheses after the mixin name. @mixin headline ($color, $size) { color: $color; font-size: $size; } h1 { @include headline(green, 12px); } h1 { color: green; font-size: 12px; } h2 { @include headline(red, 10px); } h2 { color: red; font-size: 10px; } @mixin border-radius($radius) { -webkit-border-radius: $radius; -moz-border-radius: $radius; -ms-border-radius: $radius; border-radius: $radius; } Compiling program & link (Koala) Where to learn about SASS – http://sass-lang.com/ Codeacademy has a SASS class @tommnorman @tnpwdesign TNPWDesign.com WebDevPod.com   The post Eps 31: SASS MixIn – Talking HTML appeared first on Schaffen Creative.

What is SASS? Considered an extension of CSS. I consider it a streamlined version of CSS. How it works Set up on your personal system – I use Koala to compile my code Done locally then uploaded to the server via Filezilla Create a .SCSS file Write ANY CSS code as you normally would Add the SASS styling code as you see fit variables mixins Code Nesting Putting code inside of code imports Get into it in a future eps Save file Compile code may do so automatically once SCSS file is saved. Compiling transforms your SCSS file into a CSS file Benefits Streamline CSS writing – The one change will be distributed accross to all the corresponding instances of whatever it is you changed. Negatives You have to learn how to use SASS You have to figure out how to get it to work on your computer, which can be a feat if you aren’t Computer savvy Variables Not usable in standard CSS SASS integrates a way to create variables which then translates to regular CSS when compiled $primary-color: #113e6d; /* BREWER BLUE */ $secondary-color: #c1c4c4; /* COWBOY GRAY */ $tertiary-color: #ffbf00; /* PACKER GOLD */ $quaternary-color: #294239; /* PACKER GREEN */ $quinary-color: #b70101; /* BADGER RED */ $font-stack1: 'Merienda One', cursive; $font-stack2: 'Kite One', sans-serif; $font-stack3: 'Sintony', sans-serif; body { background-color: $primary-color; font-family: $font-stack3; font-size: 62.5%; } #center { margin: 0 auto; background-color: $secondary-color; width: 800px; } Compiling program & link (Koala) Where to learn about SASS – http://sass-lang.com/ Codeacademy has a class @tommnorman @tnpwdesign TNPWDesign.com WebDevPod.com The post Eps 30: SASS Basics – Talking HTML appeared first on Schaffen Creative.

Check your workflow Review EVERYTHING. Look at where you work Desk setup Are you in an external office or do you sit in your living room at home Do you need to find a new spot What are you sitting in Type of chair matters How many monitors are you using Do you need a new one? Do you need to add another? You can’t be productive if you are distracted or uncomfortable How do you work What is your text editor of choice Does it access FTP? Do you work off of your local machine and upload via an FTP client like Filezilla? How often are you checking your results. Upload changes often and make minor tweaks along the way vs doing giant loads of work and fine tuning later How much time do you waste sweating the small problems vs waiting until the end of the day – or even the project – to move pixels Are you taking time to update your software? Very important, especially if you are using wordpress Checking for theme and plugin updates can be the difference between a hacked site and a site that loads quickly and efficiently Biggest question ARE YOU USING YOUR TIME WELL Biggest distractions: In home Kids Pets Technology Tv or phone Office setting Co-workers Technology Disorganized business Random meetings Too much watercooler talk How do you fix the issues Force yourself to take time – maybe 5 minutes a day – to organize your desk, clean up your computer desktop, reorganize files and folders On top of basic housekeeping ask yourself this: Can I improve myself Are you keeping up on current topics in design and development Are you trying new resources @tommnorman @tnpwdesign TNPWDesign.com WebDevPod.com The post Eps 29: Back to Basics – Talking HTML appeared first on Schaffen Creative.
