Oh hey there, CSS!
For some reason the past couple days I seem to be getting an insane amount of work done after 11pm. On the one hand, I love the productivity. On the other hand, it's sort of a bummer, because I love sleeping. I love sleeping a lot.
Somehow lately there are just not enough hours in the day. Which is a good feeling to be having again; it's nice to be building some momentum.
Today I learned how to use the grid system! The amazing Jen Myers gave a design talk at lunch today which filled me with motivation to fix my terrible terrible personal website, which has been on the back burner of late because I just couldn't get over that design hurdle. But with that little kick of inspiration and some judicious advice from the amazing Jonathan, I now have a website that is just a tweak or two away from being not embarrassing!
And although CSS can be a bit finicky, figuring out the grid system this afternoon was actually kind of cool. I used math! And what's really cool is that the grid I'm using is actually responsive! Obviously having a responsive website that is reasonably navigable in both full size and mobile formats takes some planning--the grid doesn't do everything for you--but I think I pulled it off without my code being too janky. Win!
