This site is my way of staying motivated to learn new things everyday on my six month journey to being a full-time freelancer.
My goal is to have a new post every day (don't count on it being the same time every day ;) ) enjoy!
I hope and pray that this site will be helpful to beginners (like myself) but also to professionals!
If you have any tips or corrections in what I say feel free to speak you thoughts in the comments.
Hi Ian!
ReplyDeleteI was looking around at your blog and wondered where you even start to learn how to design things like the header for your father's newsletter site and then the whole background? Are you working 100% with code? Or are you redesigning a theme?
Did you learn everything you know from someone or are you reading information somewhere?
Thanks!
First off, the header on "The Whetstone Blog" someone else designed back when it was still just a newsletter. Second, all I did was create a solid background using: body {background-color: #184660;} and then just overlaid it like this: .text_bg {background-color: #fff; background-position: center}.
DeleteNo, I am currently not using width percentages because it's a little tricky.
In answer to where I got my information some of it I learned from two designers that I know, the rest I learned from sites like http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts-2/
Hope this helps!
