Learn How CSS Grid Properties Work With Griddy.io

If you keep up with web design tech then you should know about CSS grids. These properties are new additions to the CSS3 format and they’re quickly becoming a developer’s best friend.

We recently covered a fun game to help you learn the CSS grid properties, but games don’t always teach practical ideas. That’s where Griddy might be more useful.

This free webapp lets you customize grids in real time and updates live snippets on the page. You can mess with your own custom grid by defining columns, gutters, and margins, and restructure the page to learn how grid properties work.

Griddy is actually a free learning tool made for frontend developers who wanna understand more about CSS grids.

With this webapp you can add new items into the grid, remove other items, and resize them to fit any layout you want.

The webapp has different sections with different input fields for editing grid properties. These let you reformat the grid rows/columns and they teach you exactly what you’re doing along the way.

You can define column gaps, align grid items, and play with justification settings – all through these form fields. Whenever you make a change it’ll auto-update the preview and the small code snippet underneath.

This way you can just copy and paste the CSS into your own stylesheet if you wanna mess with it further. Pretty cool!

A new kind of pollution — wildfire smoke — can cause health issues

It’s a domino effect Southern Californians know all too well: When there’s extreme heat, there are fires. And when there are fires, there’s smoke. And when there’s smoke, there is insidious air pollution. The pattern, caused by four fires still burning in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, is producing columns of smoke that collapse, spreading lung-damaging soot for hundreds of miles. After record-breaking heat and explosive fires over the Labor Day weekend, lingering fire clouds lowered temperatures considerably Tuesday, Sept. 8, by blocking the sun. But a moderate Santa Ana wind event starting Tuesday afternoon was expected to send desert winds through mountain canyons and into beach communities through Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service said. The Santa Anas are not good news for firefighters battling the two most troublesome fires, El Dorado near Yucaipa, and Bobcat above Duarte . A red flag warning went into effect late Tuesday. Homes could be th

30 Priceless Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) to Chuckle About

Image
It can come when we least expect it, when we are happily playing our favorite game and diligently working on the report due tomorrow. Then, all of a sudden, when we are just right about to save our progress, the blue demon appears, stares at you straight in the face and tells you that some sort of fatal, non-recoverable error has occur. You can cry, curse or swear, but nothing will change the fact that your hard work has all gone to the drain. Nobody will mistake that mocking blue screen for anything but a big FAIL. Yes, it’s the infamous blue screen of death, or BSoD for short. Oh, how we dread seeing one. Due to its widespread unpopularity, some victims of BSoD have make it a point to capture instances of BSoD for a good laugh (a laugh at their own plight, perhaps?). Others have even photoshopped BSoD into actual images and turned them into jokes. Whatever it is, we all find them hilarious because we’ve experienced them from time to time. To celebrate our contempt for BSoD, we hav
