There may be nearly infinite grid systems/mechanisms/whatever that promise to help you, dear designer, to hold your horses and follow a structure. This one is different.
The Golden Grid System is fluid, loves vertical rhythm and is so very easy to be to used.
However, do follow the advice written on the website: the system becomes even better if you tame it and change it according to your needs.
This grid system is really great!
Recently, Smashing Magazine published an article with the title Mind Your En And Em Dashes: Typographic Etiquette. I think it’s the best article about Web typography I read in 2011.
Clear, concise and to the point. It’s actually a guide you can count on.
It also reminded us the almost holy The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web.
Bookmarked!
It’s the last time I visit my favourite oak forest this year.
Can we please turn this summer off now?
I’m pretty sure you know about the recent tragedy in Oslo, Norway. You might want to turn away from anything that reminds it. However, I think there’s something positive in this story as well.
When reporters asked the mayor of Oslo whether the city is in need for more security, he said:
I don’t think security can solve problems. We need to teach greater respect.
This very moment when the masses asked for more blood, he took a pause. He responded in a quite unexpected way. He talked about respect. He selected education instead of violence.
I don’t know anything about Fabian Stang and most probably I’ll never hear his name again. But his response worths two moments of our time.
This machine is the best Apple can do in order to win a big big war.
Much faster, still light and slim, with a backlit keyboard, less costly, very attractive.
This Lion-ized MacBook Air is the ultimate weapon of Apple against Google and Chrome OS.
The adjacent sibling combinator helps us combine two selectors.
An example:
h1+p{
color: red
}
In this example when a paragraph comes right after an h1 it is red.
By extending the example above we can declare this:
h1+h2+p{
color: red
}
Now the paragraph turns to red only when it follows an h2 which comes right after an h1.
The technique works in Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox and its validity has been confirmed by Eric Meyer. Adjacent sibling combinators work for Internet Explorer 7+ too, but I have not tested my discovery there yet.

Far from professional, it’s a real one though.
