CSS
Posted at CSS Tricks by Chris Coyier With more people than ever writing in Sass, it bears some consideration how we format it. CSS style guides are common, so perhaps we can extend those to cover choices unique to Sass. Here are some ideas that I've been gravitating toward.

Modular CSS with Media Queries and Sass | B-Creative
Posted at Impressive Webs by Louis Lazaris Most developers nowadays are recognizing that if you’re developing large applications that have different views and states, it is best to take a modular or object-oriented approach to your CSS development. When you throw media queries into the mix, however, the you can lose some of the benefits of modularity — code that’s easy to read, update, and maintain. Let’s look at different ways we can write our media queries, starting with what might be the most common approach — especially with those not yet using a preprocessor. The Common Approach
Advanced cross-browser flexbox | B-Creative
Posted at Dev Opera by Chris Mills The CSS Flexible box module level 3 — or Flexbox for short — brings with it a lot of power and some very exciting possibilities for web development, allowing us to put together complex site layouts easily and rapidly, and dispensing with some of the illogical hacks and kludges that we've traditionally used. I dealt with the basics of Flexbox in my article Flexbox: fast track to layout nirvana? In this article I will go a bit further, looking at a more advanced example, and using Modernizr to serve different styles to browsers with differing levels of flexbox support, providing the best level of cross browser support currently available. The example I have built for this article looks like Figure 1:

Textareas are for writing in, so if users need more space to feel more comfortable writing in there, they can have it.

How To Style A Checkbox With CSS
Posted at Paulund Checkboxes is a HTML element that is possibly used on every website, but most people don't style them so they look the same as on every other site. Why not make your site look different by styling your checkboxes, you could even make them look nothing like checkboxes. In this tutorial we are going to create 5 different checkboxes which you can use on your website. To start off we need to add one piece of CSS that each of the following checkboxes will need.

The pro's guide to CSS layouts
Posted at CSS Tricks by Chris Coyier Forums user McAsh wondered how they might code up a design in which there was a large header and a smaller subheader beneath it which featured double horizontal lines jutting out after the text to both the left and right of the centered text. An easy thing to mock up as image, but a much more difficult thing to pull off in CSS because of the variable nature of text (length, size, etc). The post mockup was this: I coded up one way to do it which works, but isn't quite perfect. I figured I'd post it here and you all could chime in with better ways if you can think of them.

In search of the perfect radius
Posted at radesign Few weeks back, I happened to read Chris Coyer’s article on nested border radii , which spurred me to do a study that I long wanted to do. In the figure below, which button looks right? Had you ever had to design such a button or in general, a rounded rectangle nested inside another rounded rectangle and wondered what should be the inner radius for a given outer radius or vice versa? That is what we’re going to find out.Wrapping Long URLs and Text Content with CSS
Posted at Perishable Press by Jeff Starr To wrap long URLs , strings of text, and other content, just apply this carefully crafted chunk of CSS code to any block-level element (e.g., perfect for <pre> tags): By default, the white-space property is set to normal . So you might see something like this when trying to force long URLs and other continuous strings of text to wrap:Posted at Appfolio Engineering by Philip Walton To many Web developers, being good at CSS means you can take a visual mock-up and replicate it perfectly in code. You don’t use tables, and you pride yourself on using as few images as possible. If you’re really good, you use the latest and greatest techniques like media queries, transitions and transforms. While all this is certainly true of good CSS developers, there’s an entirely separate side to CSS that rarely gets mentioned when assessing one’s skill. Interestingly, we don’t usually make this oversight with other languages.
CSS Architecture
Posted at CSS Tricks Say that for any reason, a new module of content needs to appear on a page. By simply appending that new module into the DOM it will instantly appear. That might be enough of an "entrance" - or it might be too subtle. I'd think when you add new content to a page, you want people to see it. Animation might be the ticket.
