Preface

Being a website developer can be difficult though tools can make things easier and better. I’m going to recommend a few tools I frequently use for website development.

About the client

This post is rather belated, but back when I was in my senior year of high school I had the opportunity to publicize my services with this non-profit organization. Initially I was doing this work for free, but they followed up and paid me well. As quoted from their website:

We promote Latina leadership, connect Latinas for mutual support and dialogue, and preserve our cultural values.

Problem

So far, IE8 and below lack support for HTML5 elements. In fact HTML5 elements won’t render at all in those versions (hopefully IE9 will fix this). An HTML5 template will look pretty silly in IE8 and below, but there’s a way to fix that.

About the client

youthrive is an organization residing in Saint Paul, Minnesota. youthrive’s mission statement is “The mission of youthrive is to engage young people with adults in strengthening leadership and peace building skills.” Working with youthrive has been enjoyable; the central office of youthrive carries a laid-back and friendly atmosphere. Additionally, the people therein have simply been a delight to work with.

Thusly, we’ll be looking at centering an HTML element with CSS.
