Make Your Text Do Funny Things

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.

Font Style Help with CSS Type Set

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.

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 »
