Hi David,

I’m finding the content here at BMA super helpful so thanks again for all the work you put in.

Just a thought for future content; not sure if this is your thing but I thought I’d put it up here anyway.

Would you consider doing a 20-30 minute beginners tutorial in CSS? Perhaps as a short segment in Office Hours or somewhere else.

I’ve used so many theme and plugin custom CSS “hacks” over the years which is great but I have zero understanding of how they function.

It would be very helpful to have some basic insights on how CSS works and in particular how to construct them to do a specific job.

For example, if I want to change the color of a widget somewhere how do I find the the right classes to do that and how do I write the code?

Many thanks,

Rob.

Good suggestion. It can be a big topic, that’s the issue. CSS is almost like a language in and of itself. But, I guess I could talk about the most common things… then defer to outside content if you want a deeper dive. Certainly, when you’re running your own site, knowing some CSS basics can come in handy.

Sounds perfect David, thank you. Just the basics and any quick tricks or hacks (if there are any) would be excellent!
