Things that have helped me (coding related)
jsfiddle - Helps you test out your code instead of using tumbr’s shitty customization page
cssportal - offers a variety of services,including: testing out your css code (gives you a live demo), generators (box-shadow etc) and others
dirtymarkup - Cleans up your code. Basically makes it legible
patternify - creates small patterns (it’s what I use to create my icons). This is honestly my favorite tool.
google - it is literally your best friend. It’ll answer any question you have no matter how vague
stackoverflow- very helpful website. Helps you answer any questions you may have (code related). BUT PLEASE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SEARCHED YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE ASKING. These are actual people who are taking their time to answer your questions, and they will take your “question asking” privilege away from you if you abuse it
tutorialzine codrops- tutorials to help you with coding. It can go from very simple, to “that’s way too much time investment for me”
css-tricks - it’s like a combination of helping you code, to asking questions, to tutorials (this is my favorite website)
iconfinder - holy grail of icons. Some are free some aren’t
fount - it can identify any font that a webpage is using
Now if you’re trying to see how your code/theme etc looks on different screen resolutions this is how you do.
right click on page then click on inspect or (Ctrl + Shift + I)
look for this (it’s the two ipad looking icons)
All you have to do now is input in whatever specs you want
If you don’t want it anymore, just click it again and it’s gone.
click on the menu icon (the 3 lines in the right hand corner)
click developer then responsive design view or (Ctrl + Shift + M)
I hope you found this helpful. Enjoy your day
