Less is More!

Less is More!

Well, I’ve made up my mind that less.js is pretty sweet.  While, I still have to figure out my way around getting specific things to work with other browsers as well as learn more about CSS Positioning, this is simply the easiest way to organize CSS.  Here’s a couple of cheesy layouts I made using different color schemes and fonts using @font-face.

My CSS

@design_color1: #414F7F; /* BLUE */
@design_color2: #686D7F; /* GREY */
@design_color3: #839EFF; /* LIGHT BLUE */
@design_color4: #CFDAFF; /* LIGHT GREY */
@design_color5: #A6AECC; /* GREYISH BLUE */

@font1: Arista EF; /* Arista Extra Filled */
@font2: Bobble; /* Bobble Body */
@font3: Disko; /* Disko */
@font4: Husky Stash; /* Husky Stash */
@font5: Chocolate Box; /* Chocolate Box */
@font6: Star Avenue; /* Star Avenue */

@font-face {
font-family: @font1;
src: url(/fonts/Bobbleboddy.ttf) format(‘woff’);
}

@font-face {
font-family: @font2;
src: url(/fonts/Disko.ttf) format(‘woff’);
}

@font-face {
font-family: @font3;
src: url(/fonts/%5bz%5d%20Arista%20ExtraFilled.ttf) format(‘woff’);
}

Now for an example:

p {
font-family: @font1;
color: @design_color4;
text-align: justify;
margin-left: 300px;
margin-right: 300px;
padding-top: 1.5em;
}

New Site Launch!

So www.crunchypickle.com is now up and running.  Bear with me while I wait for grooveshark.com to come back online so my music player works, and I update some of the links on here.  I’m really hoping things go well.  I’m really liking the new WordPress and can’t wait to get my hands a little dirtier digging into more advanced theme options.  This site is based on another theme, but I’ve gotten a pretty good idea of how to change a Photoshop PSD file into a website and not make this WordPress install look so bloggy?  I just wanted to thank Chris Coyier over at http://css-tricks.com for his excellent tutorials, and will be posting some of my own on here soon.  :)
