I've been immersed in developing my newly designed portfolio pages. Using Bootstrap 5.3 and JS lightbox gallery plugin with the BS Carousel components. Added Isotope for filtering (THAT took a while to figure out!). Very challenging and satisfying!

Are you excited about CSS Grid Lanes?

It can be tricky to fully understand how content order works in this layout. Safari Technology Preview 235 just landed a new Order Number tool in our Grid Inspector to quickly see what’s up. Especially helpful with `flow-tolerance`.

You hear sometimes, now that we know the sordid details of the lives of some of our leading figures, that America has no heroes left.

We’re nesting grids inside grids to pull off some pretty fun layouts in @GenerateBlocks.
