Right now I am up to my eyeballs in learning CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). I did a fairly deep dive a number of years ago to the point that I was able to build websites that were at least not unpleasant to look at.  Over the last few years CSS has been updated a lot.  I&#8217;ve dived back into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things I can recommend is <a href=\"https:\/\/codepen.io\/MrRoberts\/pen\/eYdrxbZ\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/codepen.io\/MrRoberts\/pen\/eYdrxbZ\">Codepen.io <\/a>a site that lets you create and test CSS and Javascript in a sandbox environment. I use it to store things that I have learned about specific CSS code such as margin and padding. This gives me a reference anytime I forget exactly what some thing does.  There are a lot of wonderful code smith&#8217;s that you can follow that are doing amazing things with CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another really useful tool is the You Tube Chanel of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/KepowOb\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Powell<\/a>. He has over 300 video on working on the front-end of the web.  I highly recommend his videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the moment I&#8217;m redoing my landing page for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noded.us\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.noded.us\">Noded.us<\/a> The code I used was state of the art in 2008, not so much now.  So an update was and is in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am someone who has a tendency to immerse myself it things that interest me to the point where I spend a good amount of time learning the subject to the point where I can really use the knowledge learned.
