CSS Text Wrap in a Grid

I’ve been working with a grid system for my latest project, and it’s been great.  I don’t usually start with someone else’s code though, and so I missed something.  The text on one page would not wrap around right-floated images.  I finally removed all the styles on both the p tag and the div for the image, and still no text wrap, so …

The grid CSS had this:

p {
...
overflow:hidden;
}

Of course, that’s great if you’re trying to contain both the text and the floated image in a parent container, but not so great if you’re trying to wrap text.  Once “overflow: hidden” was removed for that p element, the text wrap and the image float behaved normally again.

You know you use most of these services—you might as well have some nice icons for when you link to them from your website.

These are great because they’re really beautiful, and there is a tumblr icon too!

Comic Sans

If you love it, you don’t know much about typography. And if you hate it, you really don’t know much about typography either and you should get another hobby.

All the students say it works in some places, especially for kids. I really like it for web sites for kids. I think that it’s readable too; a lot of kids don’t like serif fonts. And as Vincent Connare also says, “Because sometimes its better than Times New Roman, that’s why.”
