  • You install Grunt on a per-project basis. Go to your project’s folder. It needs a file there named package.json at the root level. You can just create one and put it there.
  • The contents of that file should be this: { "name": "example-project", "version": "0.1.0", "devDependencies": { "grunt": "~0.4.1" } }
  • Once that package.json file is in place, go to the terminal and navigate to your folder.

  • This is a one-liner again. Just run this command in the terminal: npm install -g grunt-cli
  • Then run the command: npm install
  • You should close and reopen the terminal as well. That’s a generic good practice to make sure things are working right.

  • The mathematical proportions of your typography are vitally important to how readers perceive both your site and your content.
  • Font size and line height are proportionally related.
  • For any font size, the line height must increase as the line width increases.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • For a font size of 16px, the perfect line height is achieved when h equals the golden ratio. This yields a value of 25.88854px for the optimal line height. Using this value, you can then determine that the associated optimal line width is 670.21670px.

Microdata - Dive Into HTML5 - 0 views

HTML5 microdata schema structure metadata content data model

shared by Vernon Fowler on 20 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • a third option developed using lessons learned from microformats and RDFa, and designed to be integrated into HTML5 itself: microdata.
  • “Adding microdata” to your page is a matter of adding a few attributes to the HTML elements you already have.
  • So where is the real information? It’s in the <dd> element, so that’s where we need to put the itemprop attribute. Which property is it? It’s the name property. Where is the property value? It’s the text within the <dd> element. Does that need to be marked up? the HTML5 microdata data model says no, <dd> elements have no special processing, so the property value is just the text within the element.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • This technique is also useful for microdata. There are two distinct pieces of information here: a title and an affiliation. If you wrap each piece in a dummy <span> element, you can declare that each <span> is a separate microdata property.
  • There are two major classes of applications that consume HTML, and by extension, HTML5 microdata: Web browsers Search engines
  • a handy tool to see how Google “sees” your microdata properties
  • Google supports microdata as part of their Rich Snippets program.
  • Just like associating a URL with a Person, you can associate a URL with an Organization. This could be the company’s home page, a contact page, product page, or anything else. If it’s a URL about, from, or belonging to the Organization, mark it up with an itemprop="url" attribute.
  • To handle edge cases like this, HTML5 provides a way to annotate invisible data. This technique should only be used as a last resort. If there is a way to display or render the data you care about, you should do so. Invisible data that only machines can read tends to “go stale” quickly. That is, someone will come along later and update the visible text but forget to update the invisible data. This happens more often than you think, and it will happen to you too.
  • itemscope says that this element is the enclosing element for a microdata item with its own vocabulary (given in the itemtype attribute). All the properties within this element are properties of http://data-vocabulary.org/Geo, not the surrounding http://data-vocabulary.org/Organization.

grid css webdesign responsive framework web design tools

shared by Vernon Fowler on 11 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • Responsive grids that use gutters proportional to the screen can make the content feel like it's being squeezed together or pulled apart as the screen width changes.
  • With elastic gutters this just doesn't happen, as the gutters always stay in proportion to the content.
  • If you specify all your font-sizes, line-heights, as well as vertical paddings, margins and borders in ems, they'll all scale in proportion as the font-size is changed using media queries, always keeping the baseline grid intact (save for a 1px rounding error or two), which lets the layout keep the same vertical rhythm regardless of screen size.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • GGS comes with a set of type presets aligned to a baseline grid, which is based on a base line-height of 1.5.
