2015.02.18 – Learning and More Learning

Today I requested a Vidyo meeting with Peter and Richard so we could talk about the star icon, size, placement and such. I have to admit I used to fear these meetings because I was so lost in the beginning and didn’t want to have to see the disappointment on their faces but in all of our meetings that never happened. They have both been so great.

We decided what size to start with and Richard agreed to create the icon sprite for me which is wonderful since I’m totally not a graphics person. Peter showed me how to implement it so I was able to mess with my test star and move it all over. Sweet! This is all pretty basic CSS stuff but it’s new to me so I’m amazed and delighted each time I see how something really works.

Tomorrow Peter is going to show me how to pull out duplicate template code and make macros. I know nothing about this at all but he says we can knock it out in about an hour or so. I am looking forward to learning more!

Today I learned how to put my clickable star icon over another image.
