Nice session, thank you Kevin 😀

[@davidwalls2304]

Enjoyed the WDD Live replay -- always great content. I'm definitely a "Heck Yeah" on the CSS 101 course. You're going to have to clone yourself to get all of your ideas to fruition.

[@copysamurai]

"reserving a puppy is easy" typo had me laughing out loud 🤣 excellent video as always man! Love these. This stuff helps me in my daily job all the time just based on the extra commentary you provide. Thank you!

[@Gearyco]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@AdrianSalvaggio]

Oh man I laughed so hard @ 29:55 🤣 Made my day! Great content as always KG!

[@Gearyco]

Not sure what happened there but glad you enjoyed it!

[@techiesreviews]

the first 20 or so minutes 🔥. Have you considered enhancing the gutenberg experience with something like generateblocks or Greenshift? Both support a class first workflow, and I know of greenshift has great intergration for variables.

[@Gearyco]

Yes, I prefer generate

[@curefilms]

To be honest, generate is quite good but it is only if you are okay to build a child theme, and take all the effort to create all possible use case scenerios for different levels of variables, properties and so on....All for a light weight and super efficient framework..But what i love about Automatic css combined with frames is how much money you could make building websites and put your head where it matters the most, that is maintaining the websites, marketing the websites, SEO, Speed and so on... At the end of the day, if you want your own theme and control your site on your terms....Gp and Generate blocks is the way forward...kadence or greenshift i am not sure....because there is no point to turnn to builtin features....In that case you should straight way go for bricks and Automatic css..

[@techiesreviews]

@@curefilms Thank you for sharing!

[@bartificial33]

Muscle memory is a b*tch, right? That typo at 29:55 is absolutely epic 🤣🤣

[@Gearyco]

I stand by it being a weird fluke. I don’t know what happened. Typing and talking is hard lol

[@vaughanprint]

In Q&A where you talk about the vh value in the min height setting. You go on to talk about dvh but put this in the height field. Is that correct or should it be in min height as well? My wife loves the Burnadoodle site but I think she is just looking at the pictures. We had a Bernese cross with collie. One sneaky dude but adorable at the same time. They have a very short life span. A lot less than 15 years.

[@Gearyco]

Yes min height

[@vaughanprint]

@@Gearyco Thanks Kevin. On a side note regarding the block eiditor, if it had been built wtih interoperability with other page builders in mind, with best practices/standards (which all builders would be encouraged to adopt) then I think we would have had a far better outcome for WordPress and its community.

[@ZedKhanShan]

What are Database-Driven Classes and Plain Classes? What's the difference?

[@Gearyco]

Classes you can style with the builder inputs vs classes that are prestyled by a framework

[@MusicJunkieVideos]

Css101 Kevin style please 🙏🙏🙏

[@ZedKhanShan]

Learning CSS from you is helpful enough in PB101, but a dedicated CSS course will be Amazing! #Styling101
