The float property in CSS is one of the most interesting layout tools and one of the most frustrating. When done right they are almost magical in what they can do. Done poorly or without a good understanding of the coding process behind them – well let’s say some of my gray hair is due [...]

As part of my school work (gee, don’t you like homework at my age?) Anyway part of my assignment was to learn more about CSS3 and then write a blog post about it.
So here’s Johnnnnny!
What did I learn about CSS3?
Well the first thing I learned that was important to me was the overall current status of CSS3 as it is being used by current web browser vendors.

As a certified IT professional with over 23 years in the industry, I believe that SOPA will do absolutely nothing to stop online piracy.
