Re: [css-d] Responsive Design resources
Don't know if you've found a solution, but I cam across this and thought I'd share. Just in case you or anyone else may find it useful for responsive web design. Haven't worked with it myself, but looks like it is worth a try, and it's free. Dreamweaver Extension: http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21759/dmxzone-bootstrap Also, someone mentioned Dreamweaver not having LESS support? Found this on that site as well. Not familiar with LESS and what its about just yet, but again, just sharing. http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21528/dmxzone-less-css-compiler/ Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com On May 20, 2013, at 11:51 AM, Charles Miller wrote: Sorry to Tom for first sending this to him, not the list.

Dreamweaver Extension: http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21759/dmxzone-bootstrap Hmm… Is it free? When I clicked Download, it wanted me to login. Since I get emails from them, I figured I was registered. Entered a UN/PW and was told my account was locked (inactive). Neither the DMXzone Bootstrap page nor a site search yielded any recourse to that. So the free extension seems out of reach. For me. The rest is about a responsive theme for WordPress. Many here will want to stop reading at this point. My DMXzone problem doesn't matter too much, since I am an early convert to Sterling - a premium WordPress theme ($55) available through ThemeForest. It's fully responsive, surprises me constantly with a ton of options, and has an interface that keeps me out of behind-the-scenes files and theme code mods. (Comes with a sample child theme.) Programmers may not appreciate that it gives this designer what seems like full control without asking me to code. (Though coding is offered as an option for advanced purposes.) I appreciate it big time. Has 15 training videos (both helpful and accessible, with audio track), more HTML doc, and a support forum where my half dozen questions (some to do with how it would work IF I bought it, before I bought it - and some along the lines of here's what I want to do, how can I best do it?) were all answered within one day. Average time of response was about 4 hours. Support techs elsewhere sometimes find my questions too broad; not so here. One question was: how can I create 20 or so individual divs or areas of content to display them all on one webpage. The answer was: the content blocks short code should make this a breeze. Here's a link. Another question was: I want to include a site search that doesn't just return a text listing of matching words, but instead builds a page of those content blocks that contain the searched for words. The answer was: that will require some customization of WordPress and/or the Sterling theme. Normally we'd be glad to discuss our services in doing that for you. But we're hard at work on new versions for 2 of our themes. Here are links to 2 programmers we've worked with and trust. If I've gushed here, let me finish with the usual: no connection with them other than being a recent customer.

[css-d] Responsive Design resources
I'm a retired and slightly obsolete programmer who wants to jump back into the game. There seems to be a lot of work remodeling websites so they work well with cell phones, and also a lot of work moving toward cloud-based everything. I've got a good handle on the cloud based stuff. But I'm clueless about cell phone CSS strategies. I learn quickly. *What are some good online responsive design resources? * (my first attempts to find good resources yielded poorly-written jargon) -- /* Colin (Sandy) Pittendrigh --oO0 */ __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
