Upcoming Blog Changes

By  on  

The BluDice blog will be going under some major changes during the upcoming month, including:

  • Domain change to "davidwalsh.name"
  • Added "Tools" section, where I will provide numerous Web Developer tools to allow you to compress your CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, and much more
  • Custom design -- even I know the current one is awful
  • Blog posts with images and in-depth examples (I've been holding off on some cool MooTools stuff for the new design)
  • More personalized content -- the site wont be about my person life, but I plan to throw more of my own flavor into writing.
  • More reader interaction. I'd like to do a "mailbag" post from time to time, where you can ask questions.
Do you have any requests or ideas for the blog? Please share them!

    Pure CSS Slide Up and Slide Down

    If I can avoid using JavaScript for element animations, I'm incredibly happy and driven to do so.  They're more efficient, don't require a JavaScript framework to manage steps, and they're more elegant.  One effect that is difficult to nail down with pure CSS is sliding up...
