Posted May 25, 2017 by Paul Young & filed under Website Development.
I love learning new css tricks that solve layout problems. Creating a row of boxes that are squares at any size with a border. The trick is in the padding, this blog post led me in the right direction.

Recently had a client who had full access to WordPress, but couldn't access a couple of forms. Clicking on the edit post link launched a modal stating the Form was locked and in use by "User", trying to request access provided no results. Next I logged the user out of the CMS, no luck. Thanks to this blog post, just deactivating Gravity Forms and Reactivating the plugin solved my issue. Turns out there is a transient cache, that doesn't get cleared.

Interesting roundup of techniques for displaying table data responsively. Having a lot of clients in automotive related industries requires at times the need to display fairly large tables. These will definitely come in handy.

I've spent the last year developing sites using wordpress as a cms. I spend a lot of time copying and pasting code from previous projects to new development sites. So here I will attempt to create a css/sass framework them using Gumby. Why Gumby, well, I just wanted to start somewhere. I could have started with Bootstrap, but using Less doesn't seem the way to go. Gumby uses Sass and I've got a working knowledge of the preprocessor. So here it goes. Day One.

Started my first app with bootstrap today, without reading the documentation it's not to hard to get up and running with some basic styles. I've been trying out a few CSS frameworks, Zurb's Foundation for one, and seem to like both. Below is a starting point for this internal application.
