View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, First off, thanks to everyone who let me know my emails were being flagged as phishing. Apparently, Gmail (and maybe some others?) started flagging YouTube’s shortened links, which are the ones they give creators to copy/paste quickly… Gotta love big companies flagging their own shortened URLs, but whatever, hopefully this one gets through without any issue! As for the topic of this email, it’s become a tradition for...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Before we dive into the content of this one, I want to let you know that this will be the last newsletter of the year, and I’ll be back in your inboxes sometime in mid-January. I’ll still have YouTube videos coming out, so you can keep an eye out over there by making sure you’re subscribed (only like 4,000 away from 1 million!). I’ll also do a quick roundup of all the content I put out once the newsletter resumes. With...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, It’s hard to pick one thing because there is so much to pick from right now, but I think my favorite new CSS feature is anchor positioning. Check out this navigation that I’ve put together for a project I’m working on, where the underline and link highlight is all from a single pseudo-element. That’s all done with something like 20 lines of CSS! And, with a handful more, I created a decent fallback for browsers that...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, I hope all of my American readers had a fantastic Thanksgiving, and everyone else is having a nice weekend 😊. Every year, when we hit December (which is tomorrow!), I realize the end of the year is almost here and wonder how the heck it went so quickly! It always feels like there's still so much to do, and while I’ll be doing a proper year-in-review once we actually hit 2026, taking a quick stock of what I’ve done this...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, My Black Friday sale kicks off today, and it's a big one: 40% off of CSS Demystified and Beyond CSS. Being the first non-launch-related sale I've ever done, I figured to make it a big one, so on top of that, I'm also throwing in Flexbox Simplified as a bonus with either one. The sale runs today, up through the end of the day on December 1st. As for the two courses that are on sale: CSS Demystified is for people who've...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Before we get to the content this week... thanks to Bill, I've just realized I missed sending out last week's newsletter, even though I wrote it! In it, I'd originally talked about the new name for masonry, which is display: grid-lanes. I've included the video where I talk about it in more detail down below. And speaking of masonry, it brings up what I wanted to talk about this week, which is how the term Modern CSS is...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Every year Black Friday rolls around, I get asked if I'll be doing a Black Friday sale, and every year my answer is "nope, I don't do sales on my courses." This year, I've changed my mind and will be having a Black Friday Sale. I'll be running my first Black Friday sale in 7 years, starting next Tuesday, November 25th, and it'll run through to Cyber Monday. The sale will be for my two main courses, CSS Demystified and...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, A bit of a different email this Sunday, as I don't have any new content to share (which is the first time I haven't had anything in a long time). Instead, I'm writing to let you know on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I’m giving a workshop with Frontend Masters called Modern CSS Fundamentals. The workshop is for anyone ready to move from doing their best to getting CSS to work to truly understanding it. Whether...
