I was recently putting together some CSS for columns. There was a few pre-determined widths that the columns needed to accommodate. For whatever reason (maybe because every grid framework in the world is this way) my mind went right to trying to find a common building block size. All columns are either the size of one building block or a multiple of a building block with gutter widths added.

Custom menus are obviously a major part of WordPress at this point… something that users have been begging for since 2.x. The only problem is that you typically would want to provide some default menu items with any new theme you release. For instance… a “Home” page link, or maybe a few menu items that require custom classes such as a “Twitter” link with a matching Twitter icon or a “Subscribe” link with a matching RSS icon. Sure, you could hard code these items within your theme files, but that kind of defeats the purpose of custom menus.

Meaningful companies are built upon a strong timeless vision. Let’s look at some examples…

• “To organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” — Google
• “To be the pulse of the planet” — Twitter
• “To be earth’s most customer centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online.” — Amazon

These statements may sound abstract and grandiose, but as you begin to think about it, you realise why a plan like “To be the Best iPhone Photo App for Sharing Pictures with Facebook Friends” or “Let’s Build Stuff and See What Happens, Right?” just won’t cut it.

Typically when it comes to learning something new within web design you have to refer to either the accompanied detailed documentation, the read-me or, if you are lucky, to a quick reference cheatsheet.
Each of these options are really useful, but none have the ability to give you a super-easy method to quickly understand what is going on like a well designed and eye-pleasing infographics
