LIA Cast 20 - Working with CSS - Lean Into Art - Art Center for Visual Storytellers

Top

You are dedicated to your craft. You have spent countless hours honing your skills. You have a boundless curiosity for the underlying theories and structure of communicating ideas. You are the artist who finds the connections between your medium and other communications media. You are the artist who relishes in a setback; after all, it's a new opportunity to learn and grow. Inspiration is more than a haphazard mode of thought requiring constant nurturing: it is your natural state of mind.

Lean Into Art is where you go when you're ready to push yourself as an artist in new ways. As a place to learn communication arts online it combines an art-journaling approach, the best of live and time-shifted classes, and a recognition system that encourages students to finish projects, give feedback, even participate in teaching.

It's a big art challenge - that's why we put the enticing warning in the name. You have to lean into it.

LIA Cast 20 - Working with CSS

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 2:11PM

So you've got a webcomic site set up, whether it's a Wordpress installation, a Tumblr blog, or you've hosted it on Posterous. But the notion of customizing it on your own creates a little bit of stress and uncertainty. Understandable, since most of us are artists, not programmer nerds!

Fortunately Rob Stenzinger likes to walk the imagined line between these two camps. This week he takes the time to take us through some basic ideas on how CSS works and demonstrates how to use these techniques by changing some elements on the Lean Into Art site and his own Tumblog. A great refresher course for those of us who are familiar with CSS, and a great intro piece for those of you who have never gotten under the hood to customize your website.
