The CSS Text Wrapper is probably the coolest thing I have seen when it comes to what you can do with text on a web page. Then again… how many things have we seen?
This tool makes it easy to wrap your text on a web page around in new and different ways. No more rectangle blocks! You can make text wrap around curves, zig-zags, or whatever you want. To get started, all you have to do is use the wizard on their web site. The output will be saved as Javascript, XHTML w/ Classes, or Inline CSS/XHTML.

Fonts always confusing me when it comes to editing or creating a stylesheet for a web site layout. Thanks to CSS Type Set this is no longer an issue.
To use, just fire up the web site and paste in the text you wish to style. Then use the controls at the bottom of the web site to adjust the text spacing, line height, font color, font style, how it is formatted and much more.
This is turning a three hour job of playing with CSS, trying to get it just right uploading and downloading all into something you can do in about five minutes. CSS Type Set has earned a spot in my web dev folder for sure.

I recently jumped into the world of Cascading Style Sheets, or better known as CSS.
Do not get me wrong, I have been working with HTML codding for the past five or six years. Doing each layout on each page manually, calling up the font colors sizes and text over and over again became tedious at best.
The bad thing about plain old HTML codding is that you end up with really large file sizes for your web pages. Larger file sizes lead to slower download times, which leads to unhappy visitors for your web site. Learning about CSS will help you reduce the clutter.
To start, lets define CSS. A Cascading Style Sheet is a string of data or code that sits internally or externally on your server that will tell your pages how to format certain parts of your website. Read the rest of this entry »
