Say a prayer and make a blood offering to see if your attack hits |
A quick reminder before we get started today: in two weeks our special introductory deal on a Versioning membership ends. Members have access to the daily Versioning updates, and will also receive members-only content like deep dives into emerging topics, regularly updated posts on important subjects, and media guides. As of this exact second, 130 amazing members are enjoying these benefits. You're all great! Right now, you can join the party for just $5 per month, or $50 for an annual subscription. Once we hit March 9, that moves to our standard rate of $7/month or $70/year. It's a great deal, I hope you take advantage of it! OG members (hi!) already enjoy the benefits of a membership, but once we hit March 9 you'll all move to receiving weekly updates unless you sign up to one of the aforementioned membership plans. Make sure you head to our membership page and join the crew. Hell's CellsFront-endFirst up, Rachel Andrew on styling empty cells with Generated Content and CSS Grid Layout [smashingmagazine].

I know there's a calming desktop picture somewhere here. Now I know why Adam always wants to take a look at mine "just for a second." Have a good weekend, and I'll catch ya on Monday.
