You would think to have text scrolling over a fixed background would be as easy as just setting the css background attached property to fixed. well its not if your site it viewed on an iphone. googled around for a solution and here it is in all its glory.
I made a 700px scrolling area to contain text excluding my header. Its pretty cool. I like monotype fonts for headings. Dark khakhi is the color that I picked out for the title lettering. I dont mind having a simple serif with the blue underlining. I went full circle with hating the default times new roman. keeping it simple. the background makes it hard to read. oh well. all i wanted was to show this effect of text scrolling over the background.
Of course i could keep going alternating between single column and double column paragraphs forever. thats what I plan to do. whenever i get visually bored of one block i will alternate with another. It keeps things interesting for me.
yeah i could use emmit shortcuts to fill the page with boilerplate but wheres the fun in that? Might as well say something about what I did to make the page show up the way it does. I came across this solution after sifting through stack overflow. I happened to make it work once before by chance from a gpt prompt but forgot how. something to do with z-index on an invisible div?
I got the inspiration from seeing my friend kathryns wix site. its what inspired me to finally dig in and actially learn css for realsies. I have a book on writing essays Ive been meaning to read. I know it will be boring but worth it. To be able to have better structure to thought. I forget everything that was taught in english class. I know there are AI tools to correct spelling amd grammar, but at the core my fundamentals are lacking and I want to fix that.
when i first got into the game i didnt know what i do now. there are some better practices I wasn't aware of. the 10 crack commandments of responsive web design. I copy pasted my old style sheet in from my local project. Glaring change that stuck out to me, a must fix that stood out. I sas that I i used px. we don't do that no more around these parts. now I use rems. Its good to have a web log (a blog), a living document. its like a book with infinate pages. I used to buy notebooks at the dollar store for this. my hand writing is illegible. I am so glad I figured out the basics finally after all these years.
but this isn't a blog. this is about code. why this page is the way it is.
