Hey,
Anastasia, my apologies, I meant to reply to you our reset adventures just
prior to you posting your pull request on Thursday. But I got side tracked with
silly issues (which were a result from my laziness -- it's easier to change the
case of a file name on the server than change the instance where it is called
for in the sites head, in this case, itself) for a day and a half. Lessons
learned. And I thought a reply to you, by this point, would better be directed
to the list than to you, exclusively.
When we were fixing my reset issue -- which essentially consisted of swapping
out Harry Roberts' Vanilla (I can't get a certain song outta my head when
thinking of that name -- I'm not sure if the term "vanilla" was meant to
represent "convention," but if it was it's incredibly relevant and funny)
"restart" for the FSS reset and dropping fss-base-global.css from
fss-reset.css, by the way -- I wasn't content with how I styled FSSFive if the
FSS reset was changing the layout in any noticeable way -- not that I've
re-implemented fss-base-global, yet.
For the record, Anastasia, a shrinking layout wasn't all I experienced back
when I tried to implement the FSS reset. I had some peculiar float issues, as
well. Which were obviously my fault, but got fixed subsequent to my trying,
without even realizing there was a problem. I love it when that happens.
Long story shorter -- it's much too late for short sadly -- it boiled down to
me putting the font rules on the body "tag" versus html "tag." Most of it is
fixed. Still more to fix in my styles. But, as always, questions arose. Why the
imports? Reason I asked are given FSSFive is a shipping WordPress theme
(meaning all the roots of the file paths pointing to the css files in the head,
for instance, need to be requested from the server, as they are different on
every site depending on the domain and where WordPress is installed) and the
server resources themselves, or I imagine they, are rather significant despite
calling in all those style sheets. And yes I realize how silly it is for me to
be hung up on two style sheet imports, but I've noticed many other css files in
that directory and I'm wondering how they get used. Anyone? Sorry for all the
babble. And I still have some work to do but there might be one more concern,
with the reset and list-styles. Why is it so bloody cold in my house?!
But I noticed the reset is inefficient, in at least one instance, between the
two files. With respect to the headings. One sheet is calling for a font-weight
of normal, while subsequently setting it to bold in the other. Is there a
reason for this?
Anyway thanks again Anastasia and Colin for your help this week. It's much
appreciated...
Johnny
