Favorite CSS Secret Stuff

How do I change this and that?: A good place to start is to look at the .css file for your website. It contains all the styles and layouts used to create the various effects. Also do some searches for Free Layouts or Free CSS templates.
How do I modify the files?: There are lots of ways to modify the files to your needs. Here are a few tutorials to get you acquainted:
CSS CribSheet
CSS Crib Vault
CSS Drive
Open up the CSS file you want in any text editor like Notepad, Ace HTML or Dreamweaver. You can now edit the files and save them and upload to your server, overwriting the old files.
Favorite CSS sources: We like this list of some our favorite links. This fancy menu is the way to go for a masterful presentation of just what Web Designers can do. Their tool box of toys is extensive and is changing all the time. Look here for the best of the cream:
Zen Garden
Stu Nicholls - CSS master
CSS showcase
Also snoop around on the demo page.
I want you to help me. How much do you charge?: This is again very easy to do. Depending on what type of “flavors” you want on your web page we would be glad to help you out.

This CSS stuff can get overwhelming at times, but give your self credit and take a go at it.

Squidoo U and JaZilla

We see a black hole full of interesting stuff on the internet everyday. This item from Squidoo Lensmasters (a social bookmarking website like Technorati,del.icio.us or Digg ). Squid U had this wonderful bit of fluff regarding “getting noticed.”

Squidoo : Your lens, “How To Set Up Your Office In A Coffee Shop,” was chosen as Lens of the Day and is one of my personal favorites. This is a fun and unique topic they won’t teach you in school. How did you come up with the idea for it?

JaZilla : When I was deciding what I wanted to do lenses on Squidoo about, I kept remembering that old saying about “write what you know”. I know about using a coffee shop for an office; for years I’ve had a favorite local coffee shop that I’ve worked in. My husband even bought me a laptop several years ago so that I could write there.

Squidoo : Even though your topic doesn’t have to do with a specific and popular search term, your lens has done well. Why do you think this is?

JaZilla : I’m not sure. Some of it may be the result of promoting the lens myself, but I suspect that a lot of Squidoo readers are cafe society people. There’s a lot in common between people who like to hang out at coffee shops and Squidooers; you have to like a bit of chaos and be interested in a lot of esoteric subjects.

She recommends:

JaZilla’s Lessons for Lensmasters:

1. Write what you know–however weird or obscure
2. Write passionately about what you know
3. Write a lot about what you know
