How To Use HTML Meta Tags Want top search engine rankings? Just add meta tags and your website will magically rise to the top, right? Wrong. Meta tags are one piece in a large algorithmic puzzle that major search engines look at when deciding which results are relevant to show users who have typed in a search query. While there is still some debate about which meta tags remain useful and important to search engines, meta tags definitely aren't a magic solution to gaining rankings in Google, Bing, Yahoo, or elsewhere – so let's kill that myth right at the outset. Let's look at what meta tags are, what meta tags matter, and how to avoid mistakes when implementing meta tags on your website. What Are Meta Tags? HTML meta tags are officially page data tags that lie between the open and closing head tags in the HTML code of a document. The text in these tags is not displayed, but parsable and tells the browsers (or other web services) specific information about the page. Here's a code example of meta tags: The Title Tag
CSS Selectors, Properties, and Values For each selector there are “properties” inside curly brackets, which simply take the form of words such as color, font-weight or background-color. A value is given to the property following a colon (NOT an “equals” sign) and semi-colons separate the properties. This will apply the given values to the font-size and color properties to the body selector. So basically, when this is applied to an HTML document, text between the body tags (which is the content of the whole window) will be 14 pixels in size and navy in color. There are many property-specific units for values used in CSS, but there are some general units that are used by a number of properties and it is worth familiarizing yourself with these before continuing. px (such as font-size: 12px) is the unit for pixels.em (such as font-size: 2em) is the unit for the calculated size of a font. Other units include pc (picas), cm (centimeters), mm (millimeters) and in (inches). When a value is zero, you do not need to state a unit.

Portfolio and blog of Jeffrey Sarmiento a web designer/developer from Toronto, Canada currently working for FreshBooks VisiBone A Simple Mixin Alternative to Standard CSS Grids Over the past few years CSS grid systems have become a very popular way of rapidly producing layout scaffolding in web design. They can be a fantastic time-saving resource, with talented coders having intelligently crafted systems which cater to a wide array of possible layouts designers might need to create. However, this isn't the only way to approach grid-based web layouts, and today we're going to examine an alternative. How CSS Grid Systems Work A grid system typically consists of a specific number of columns, (commonly twelve or sixteen), and the ability to set an element, (usually a div with a class applied), to a width of X of those columns. For example, a content area might be set to nine of twelve columns, while a sidebar next to it is set to three or twelve columns. Let's take a quick look at how the classic "header, content, sidebar, footer" website layout might be built using techniques common to CSS grids: The Downsides to CSS Grids Yes it absolutely can! .Row() mixin Wrapping Up
