Tutorial: Using CSS Shorthand in your Stylesheets
Posted in All Posts, CSS, Tutorials, Web Design on 14 Jan
Using CSS Shorthand is great for reducing the lines of code and preventing us typing lots of duplicate lines of code in our stylesheet's, but how many of us use it?

There is only so much software you can install / filters you can set going before you realise, the spam eventually reaches you anyway, fact! It's just part or web life.
Removing the Dotted Hyperlink Borders
Posted in All Posts, CSS, Hacks, Tutorials, Web Design on 12 Oct
I love Firefox, it is my favoured browser but there is one little thing that really frustrates me, especially from a designer point of view. You may, or may not have noticed that the browser adds a dotted border around hyperlinks that only become visible upon activating the link.
