• Target Pseudo-Class Practice

  June 3, 2020

  I wanted to work some more with the :target pseudo class. I also wanted to create something with a positive message. I'm not sure how to word this well, but the situation in the US makes me really sad and upset. I want to find some ways to help. So I made this, and I'm going to do more.

  I've only ever used line-through, none, and underline when working with the text-decoration property. After learning about the new text-decoration-thickness property a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be wise to learn more. I never knew overline was an option.

• Time for a restart

  January 29, 2020

  I’m back! It’s the year 2020 and I still don’t have this section of the site linked on the homepage. It’s time to change that. I just made the mistake of writing out a whole post and then navigating away from the page, which resulted in me losing everything…
