While I’ve done a lot of reference documentation writing, my favourite type of work is writing tutorials and “how to” content.

A frequently asked multiple-column layout question is why a new paragraph at the start of the column has additional space above it.

In 2015 I started my CSS Layout News newsletter mostly to have my own venue to go on about CSS grid, at the time unavailable in any stable browser.

Recently implemented in Chrome are two of my top asks for CSS—the concept of rows in multiple-column layout, and gap decorations for rows and columns in grid, flexbox, and multicol.

The beauty of AT Protocol is that all of your data from different apps is available on your PDS, your own folder on the internet containing your stuff as JSON.

I’ve been playing around with AT Protocol.

I’m not someone who keeps a lot of memorabilia, but I do have a large collection of conference badges.

For most of my career I ran a very small company.

I don’t post to or visit the social network formerly known as Twitter, but as a very early Twitter user, I can’t quite bring myself to delete all my old posts.

In 2004 I published the first edition of The CSS Anthology with Sitepoint.

I had a few days off work last week.

My social feed has divided mostly into two camps—those who can now only talk about how excited they are about AI, and those who are refusing to use it at all.
