CSS3 properties are now widely supported and I’ve developed a habit that holds up by browsing experience every time I stumble across a half decent looking UI. I find myself whipping open Firebug and inspecting every element on the page to see if it’s crafted using a long list of CSS3 properties.

The thing about CSS3 properties (and I’m sure this was the intention) is that they do a great job of mimicking Photoshop’s layer styles. If you haven’t seen it already, this little tool is a CSS3 generator that mimics Photoshop’s layer style interface.

But we’re not 8 year old sissy girls, so we create our own buttons. Let’s get the code out of the way, then we’ll look at some of the syntax in detail. read on →

I felt the need for a quick introductory post. I’m Dave Kingsnorth, a 24 year old web developer living and working in London. This blog will be home to techniques, tutorials and mini projects. Things that grab my attention and things that I want to experiment with. I’ll start throwing in a few screencasts if I get even the most trivial amount of traffic, but we’ll see how that one goes.

If you want to grab my code or download the source files then feel free to use them as you like, I don’t expect any sort of attribution. And finally, your welcome to pick me up on any poor code, I’m still learning, it does happen and I’d appreciate the feedback.
