the curse of css tomfoolery

or how i always (and i mean ALWAYS) make zero attempts to organize my stylesheets.  if you don't understand css fully, don't worry - that opening statement will seem false because you're looking at something pretty and colorful and on surface level, nothing is wrong, right? 

but for those who like looking behind the scenes, lifting the hood up, seeing how stuff works - i can uniquivocally confirm that you'd take one look at my work and think


WHY MAN WHY

WHY DO THIS TO YOURSELF XDD


it's because i'm sloppy, unorganized, impulsive. 

whenever i make these layouts, i don't really have any kind of plan in place.  i just run with scissors, mish mashing crap on the fly.

anyway, i did fix a number of issues with this main blog layout, which i'm happy about after three mugs of coffee and screaming at myself internally :D

okay that's all for now thx for reading xoxo

Who needs to organise! CTRL+F works for me just fine to be honest. If someone wants to know how a certain effect was applied to a certain element they just need to search for the element. I only put the pretty notes if I'm sharing the code with someone else who doesn't code My code as it sits is a bit of a mess too. I still haven't checked for any unnecessary bits and it's not formatted or in any sensical order :O

As someone completely self taught I honestly did not ever find your code that confusing. I can tell what is which and find the specifics I am looking for.
Besides I think everyone has a different idea of what a 'clean' css looks like/should look like

Anyway look at this jedi --->

I'm the same here, if you look at how I format my css layout you'd most likely cry

lol it aint that bad, but yea - you're similar in the sense that i dont use notation for specific sections of codef (which in hindsight would be good to refer back to)

i've always relied heavily on ctrl+f and sheer luck
