How to: vertical centering with CSS. For a long time I'd wanted to achieve a vertical centering effect with CSS that I used to achieve with tables or frames. A fixed size block that floats dead centre in the browser window, no matter what its size. Techniques for horizontal positioning have been known for some time, with the 2 methods described on Blue Robot. Then I found across a piece on Web Page Design for Designers, outlining how to do this. Nirvana! It uses absolute positioning to put find the exact centre point of the window, and then uses negative margins to 'shift it all back halfway', producing the effect. It works, but there are 2 problems with this: the problems As the CSS technique uses absolute positioning with negative margins, if the browser window is smaller than the centered content, it crops it off without giving you scrollbars to access it.

Gravity Forms CSS: Targeting Specific Elements | Gravity Forms CSS: Targeting Specific Elements The team here at Rocketgenius is about to release Gravity Forms version 1.5 with several new features and enhancements. Along with these new features, we've introduced some new markup and form elements that I'm sure many people will want to style to match their theme.
I thought this was a good time to sit down and compile some basic CSS targeting samples for these new elements as well as the other existing form components. This isn't an "end all be all" list or the only way to target these fields, but it's intended to be a starting point for those new to Gravity Forms or new to CSS. I've given a few basic usage examples for each element, one that would be generic for all forms and then one (or two) that would be specific to a unique form ID. If you're styling a specific form, you would simply view your source, find the form ID and replace the ID in my examples with your own. Form Wrapper contains the entire Gravity Form Form Header Form Heading.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Gradients (And a Few Things You Didn’t) Hello. I am here to discuss CSS3 gradients. Because, let’s face it, what the web really needed was more gradients. Still, despite their widespread use (or is it overuse?) , the smartly applied gradient can be a valuable contributor to a designer’s vocabulary. Of course, that whole ‘proper application’ thing is the tricky bit. But given their place in our toolkit and their prominence online, it really is heartening to see we can create gradients directly with CSS. Still, I’ve always found CSS gradients to be one of the more confusing aspects of CSS3. Gradient theory 101 (I hope that’s not really a thing) Right. I spent seconds hours designing this gradient.
At either end of our image, we have a final color value, or color stop : on the left, our stop is white; on the right, black. (Don’t ever really do this. It’s visually more intricate, sure. Now, color stops alone do not a gradient make. Transition point , the fail-over point between the two stops. A tale of two syntaxes Woof. Wait, what? Mezzoblue § Home.

Let's have a look: Original image: Same image scaled up to the container's height: Same image scaled down to the container's height: HTML Code: CSS Code: An important thing to note here is that I removed the width="" and height="" attributes from <img> element in the scaling examples.

One of the puzzles I have been pondering the last three years of my grain operation is how to affordably and sustainably fertilize and manage an organic crop.
Non-organic seed and fertilizer are cheaper, you can use chemicals to control weeds and pests, and the record-keeping is simpler. I am convinced, though, that petroleum based fertilizers are unsustainable for society and that endless use of chemicals is destroying the soil and the environment. My first year of farming grain I didn’t have time to do anything but buy fertilizer so I bought the amount the rep suggested. I got a pretty good crop but the cost was astronomical and certainly not feasible for the selling price of the finished grain. Legume cover crops create nitrogen, contribute biomass, suppress weeds, hold moisture in the soil, and help balance other minerals and trace elements in the soil.
This fall I got that same soil tested and found that pretty much everything except manganese was still very low. -Reed Hamilton. Search engine optimization. As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic. The plural of the abbreviation SEO can also refer to "search engine optimizers", those who provide SEO services.
History Early versions of search algorithms relied on webmaster-provided information such as the keyword meta tag, or index files in engines like ALIWEB. By relying so much on factors such as keyword density which were exclusively within a webmaster's control, early search engines suffered from abuse and ranking manipulation. Relationship with search engines.
