Emergency CSS Update In Progress

Move, Move, Move!

If you had to make the background red across your main production site as absolutely fast as possible starting right this second, how long would it take you to have it done?

Felt like an interesting question. So, I started a timer and jumped into my editor. Clicked this photo when the change was live.

A photo showing a timer on my phone in the foreground and my computer screen showing a section of my site's home page in the background. The timers says: 02:21.74. The home page has a red block on it with a link to Chris' original post.

I'll round that to 2min 22sec.

Deciding what's acceptable is left as an exercise for the reader. I think I'm in pretty good shape.

My site runs off an app I wrote called Neopoligen. It works with a file format I designed called Neopolitan. It's like markdown, but on steroids.

The format and site builder started out as personal projects. They're open-source, but lots of stuff was hard coded for my site. I'm in the process of polishing things to make them usable by anyone.

Stay tuned if you're into that type of thing.

And, yeah, I didn't make the entire site red. I could have. The edit went into the global stylesheet. Don't be a jerk.

Also, if I wanted to, I could update the CSS directly on any page. I could even show you the code that does it. Something like:

CSS

.this-end-note {
  color: blue;
}

Anyway, I'm really pleased with my little site builder.
