I’m learning CSS and this morning I managed to get a little CSS snippet working to make headers look like this and I AM DELIGHTED.

@Annie a wonderful feeling!

@Annie From "I just" through "but still" is how I've ever written any code.

@Annie Don’t shortchange your delight. Everybody learns and builds from other peoples code. Enjoy what you’ve made and that you now know something you didn’t yesterday.

@Annie That’s the best part of CSS (and HTML) - how anyone can remix and learn.

@Annie Simon and Greg are right! That’s exactly how I updated my Micro.blog site this week. I know just enough to break things and know where to look when it breaks. Then I fix it. And it does bring a lot of joy when it works, so congratulations! Enjoy! @SimonWoods @gregmoore

@aclaman It IS! I squealed.

@SimonWoods I love that as a workflow summation.

@gregmoore Thanks for that encouragement!

@iChris We stand on the shoulders of CSS giants.

@gdp Breaking part still scares me a bit but the fixing part (when it works) is such a delight.

@SimonWoods 👍🏼

@Annie nice … is heading 5 looking larger than ‘4’ an optical illusion?

@Annie Looks good. Really like the subtle gradient. Also, I agree with @gregmoore comment about learning and building atop of others work. That's certainly how I've learnt new things.

@Annie @gdp Breaking things and then figuring out how to fix them is how I have learned most of what I know.
