Earlier this week, I explored a solution to center an image and caption by making the figure take on the width of the image even when the caption was longer than the image. I wanted the caption to wrap if needed. I asked several other CSS wizards to weigh in. jeffbridgforth.com/having-figur...

@hidde.blog Thank you so much for your post, hidde.blog/ethical-ai/ After dabbling a bit with AI, I have been recently rethinking my position about how I want to approach it. Your article was very helpful. It brought a lot of focus to things I have been considering. I like the idea of AI statement.

It was a full week of networking, participating in an online meetup, live streaming CSS Day, and reading articles. I also wrote up my own thoughts in response to Robb Owen's Looking elsewhere. #weeknotes jeffbridgforth.com/weeknotes-ju...

Has anyone come up with a trick to make the width of a figure element fit the content of contained image even when figcaption has more width? I want figcaption to wrap. @kevinpowell.co @bell.bz @ishadeed.com @michelleb.bsky.social @chriscoyier.net @5t3ph.bsky.social

Trying to remember what the new CSS property is that allows you to trim off the space above text so that text aligns with floated images.

@simplebits.com Thanks for highlighting The Beths in Studio Notes #33. I have been enjoying their songs and their sound. Great for a Friday afternoon.

@ohhelloana.blog I really enjoyed your presentation today at CSS Day. It was very relevant to me as I just started a new job and dealing with legacy codebase. You gave me a lot to think about. I don't remember you sharing a link to your slides. I would love to go back and review. Thanks again.

@kevinpowell.co Thanks for giving me the idea of doing a commentary on someone else's article by doing the same through a video recently.

On Tuesday, I read @robbowen.digital's article, Looking Elsewhere. It deeply resonated with my craftsman soul. I go through his article and add my thoughts, reactions, head nods, and commentary. jeffbridgforth.com/looking-else...

@artlung.com What was the question that you asked to kick off the discussion at Front End Study Hall on Tuesday. I would like to write an article based on the discussion and my own personal experience. Thanks.

Does anyone remember or know how to link to the article where the author shared 3 generic web designs that seemed to cover most web design of the day? I wanted to use it as an example in an article I am writing.

I love wild cherry Lifesavers. I wish you could still buy them separately. I am glad that I can still get them as part of a five-flavor bag. Every time I suck on one, it takes me back to memories of my grandfather or my mother and her buying a roll of them for me at Ben Franklin's.

Two things lifted my spirits today. * Reading robbowen.digital/wrote-about/... * Participating in Front End Study Hall indieweb.org/Front_End_St... It is empowering to connect with people who resonate with you about building websites even if it is through reading their writing.

Anyone know of a Webfont generator that works with variable fonts? To convert to WOFF, WOFF2.

Wow!! One of the best things I have read. My heart resonated with so much of what @robbowen.digital shares in this article. Gives me some hope about the future and that there are still those of us who care about the craft. "To dehumanise the craft is to remove the value of the work." Thanks Robb.

This weeknote is more personal as I share my adventures downtown with my son, rebuilding old LEGO sets, finding out about CSS Day live stream, and sharing some highlights from my work week. That, along with articles I read and other activities from my week. jeffbridgforth.com/weeknotes-ju...

I enjoyed listening to Kevin's thoughts about how Flexbox is not easier than Grid. There are things about CSS that are very simple but there are also a lot of complex things and it takes time to learn just like any other programming language. Appreciate Kevin diving into explain why things work.

I laughed so hard watching this. Of course, I am also very sad about the state of things that this is poking fun at.

@ishadeed.com Should a video player (controls) be flipped for RTL languages? I was not sure and wanted to get your advice. Thank you.
