  1. CSS Gradients

    May 9, 2010 by Austin Hallock

    One of the cool CSS techniques I used a few places in Sweeva was CSS gradients … That’s right, gradients WITHOUT the use of images, it’s pretty cool!

    So cool in fact I made a site dedicated to it, it’s pretty easy to use and spits out the CSS you’ll need for the gradient background: http://css-gradient.com/ (I got inspiration from this awesome site)

    That CSS should work in every browser except Opera, if you’re in Opera you’re out of luck. If you’re a beginner to CSS and the code it spits out means nothing to you, this post should help!

    Hope you all like it!

    If this gains traction and I get a few comments asking for it, I’ll spend the time to make those input boxes draggable so you can change the gradient’s angle.


  2. Busy, Busy Day

    Today Jon Olson, Tim Linden and I launched Sweeva.com and boy have we had a busy day (well, month actually).

    I’m writing this post on 2 hours sleep in the past 40 hours so it’s a bit short ;)   Anyways, less than 7 hours in we’re at 1300 members which isn’t too shabby.
