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 Like, more delighted than I should be because essentially I just copied a snippet somebody else wrote and messed around till it looked like I wanted but still. 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.

@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.

@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.
