CSS Properties to Make Hyperlinks More Attractive – Speckyboy

CSS Properties to Make Hyperlinks More Attractive – Speckyboy

Hyperlinks don’t always get the attention they deserve from web designers. Sure, we might make a few tweaks. However, we don’t always go the extra mile to make them stand out.

Perhaps that’s because the styling options used to be limited. Link color and underlining were the primary options. Hover and focus states seemed to be where most of the creativity occurred. Other enhancements tended to require add-ons like JavaScript.

CSS has changed the game in recent years. Several properties are available to customize the look of hyperlinks. They also provide a higher level of control regarding details like spacing and sizing.

It’s a whole new world of possibilities. Let’s check out some CSS properties that help make hyperlinks more attractive.

A Default Link

We’ll start with a default link configuration. A link color and CSS states were added – but that’s it. It will serve as a baseline as we explore the CSS properties below.

See the Pen Link Styling:Plain by Eric Karkovack

It used to be that a link’s underline had to be the same color as its text. The text-decoration-color property allows us to choose a separate hue. It also works with overlines, strikethroughs, and anything else set by the text-decoration property.

We’ve added a brown underline to compliment our green link text.

See the Pen Link Styling:text-decoration-color by Eric Karkovack

This niche property determines how the link’s text decoration interacts with glyphs. The default setting is auto, where the browser interrupts underlines and overlines so they don’t touch a glyph. You’ll notice this with lowercase letters that go below the baseline.

Setting the property to none means the underline or overline draws a straight line – regardless of where glyphs are located.

See the Pen Link Styling:text-decoration-skip-link by Eric Karkovack

The thickness of a link’s underline typically follows what’s defined in the font-weight property. That is, bold text will result in a thicker underline. This property lets us set a consistent value for every link in the cascade.

See the Pen Link Styling:text-decoration-thickness by Eric Karkovack

Text decorations don’t have to be a straight line. This property lets you change the style to dashed, dotted, double, or wavy lines.

See the Pen Link Styling:text-decoration-style by Eric Karkovack

Here’s a way to specify how closely (or not) an underline is to the text above. Adding a few pixels of space between them can improve legibility.

Note that this property doesn’t impact instances of the HTML underline tag (<u>). It only affects instances where the text-decoration property is set.

See the Pen Link Styling:text-underline-offset by Eric Karkovack

Another niche property, text-underline-position specifies the position of the underline relative to its text. Setting it to under is ideal for mathematical and scientific formulas. It makes subscript characters easy to read – even when underlined.

See the Pen Link Styling:text-underline-under by Eric Karkovack

Going Further with Link Styles

Hyperlinks don’t have to be bland. There are now plenty of ways to make them as much a part of your brand as other design elements.

The properties above are all worth considering when styling links. They’re relatively simple to implement and can make links more attractive and accessible. Best of all, they’re native CSS and won’t impact page load performance.

You can also use them beyond default styles. Style them for various states, such as changing the link’s underline color during a hover event. In addition, there’s an opportunity to add animation and transitions to create all sorts of fun micro-interactions.

Just beware – it’s possible to take things a little too far. Always keep best practices in mind to enhance the user experience. Anything that makes links harder to read or use isn’t worth doing.

It’s time to get creative! Experiment with these CSS properties and see how you can bring a little life to your links.

Convert HTML to Image: A Step-by-Step Guide ✨

Do you want to turn some HTML code you've made that's on your website and have a way to convert it into an image for you to save?

Well, look no further! I too wanted to do the same thing but funny enough, there weren't any straightforward tutorials out there that could show you how! After hours of searching, I finally discovered the solution~!

This is an old tutorial I made 🐼

💛 Set your environment

Before we dive into the conversion process, I'll assume you already have your HTML code ready. What you want to learn is how to turn it into an image file. You should have a good grasp of HTML and JavaScript. For this tutorial, we'll use the following HTML code example:

We won't include the CSS code, as it doesn't affect this tutorial. The JavaScript file (script.js) at the bottom of the body element is where we'll add the functionality for the conversion.

Your page should resemble the following:

As you can see, the "Click me" button will handle the conversion. We aim to convert everything within the div.info-div into an image.

💛 Using the html2canvas JavaScript Library

The html2canvas library allows you to take screenshots of webpages and target specific elements on a screen. Here are the steps to include the library in your project:

The steps to put the library in your project:

Visit the html2canvas website for more information.

Copy the CDN link from here

and include it in a script tag in your project's head tag in the HTML file:

That's it for including the library on the HTML side. Now, let's move on to the JavaScript code.

💛 JavaScript Functionality

Here's the JavaScript code to handle the conversion:

In this code, I want to turn the whole div.info-div into an image, I put it into a variable in const div = document.querySelector(".info-div");.

I also put the button into a variable in const button = document.querySelector("button");

I added a click event listener to the button so when the user clicks the button, it will follow the code inside of the event listener!

You can find similar code like this in the documentation of the html2canvas library:

What is happening here is:

We add the div (or what the element we want to take an image of) into the html2canvas([element]).then((canvas)

Added the image file type url to a variable = const imageDataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png"); - You can replace the png to other image file types such as jpg, jpeg etc

Created an anchor/link tag, added the href attribute to imageDataURL

The download attribute is where we will give the default name to the image file, I added "dog.png"

Perform the click() function to the anchor tag so it starts to download the image we created

And that's it!

💛 The End

And that's it! You've successfully learned how to turn your HTML into an image. It's a great way to save and share your web content in a unique format.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please comfortable to ask. Enjoy converting your HTML into images! 💖🐼

Hey you

all of you complaining about tumblr live

Seethe and cope 😎

Okay but seriously

Get yourself the Stylus extension For Firefox users: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/styl-us/ and for everyone else: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne

Get the Old Tumblr Dashboard Style: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-2023

You should get this stuff even if you don't plan to remove tumblr live :3 Now here is where the magic comes from:

Stylus allows you to add custom css styles to websites, and you can edit themes made by other people to fit your needs!

See that little fucker? How about we fuckin g kill it?

Press f12 to open the Developer Tools (or however it is called lmao)

Click on this little guy

Now you can select an element on the website, and it will show where it is in the html!

3. Point

Click on it, and now we will see something like this in the inspector!

Collapse a bunch of this stuff, since here we only care about the list items, or <li>

These are the different buttons in the banner

Now, how do we fucking kill that guy?

There are a number of ways to do this, so let's start with the simplest one

Delete

Just select the list item that has the title "Live" and press delete!

So it is gone now, right?

Well... not really. If you refresh the page, it is back. Which makes sense, since the only thing we did is remove that part of the "code" (if you can call html "code"), but when we refreshed it, the server gave us a version of the site that obviously had the button still there.

So what is a smarter way to get rid of it?

While you can't really delete a specific part of the site with just css, you can hide it! To do that, all you have to do is apply the style display: none;

Like that! While it doesn't fix the problem with the refresh, it brings us closer to the solution.

Remember when we got Stylus? yeah!

Go inside of it (😳), and inside the Old tumblr dashboard theme (😳😳), and now we just need to apply the css style of "remove that fucker" to the specific list item. How do we do that, since we can't add it directly into html? We use the attribute selector, and we look for title="Live"!

Where do I write this????

Well, css applies the styles from top to bottom of the style sheet (usually, this post is already too long), and you see how the list item has a few classes assigned to it? It so happens that they also modify the display property, so we have to override it by putting our selector after those in the css sheet... so basically you can just write the thingie at the end 😅

Here is how the attribute selector works!

the .IYr09 part is that specific class, so that if there is ever something on this page that has the title="Live" but isn't what we are looking for, it won't apply there (You don't need to do this, but whatever). The attribute selector is written in the square brackets, and you just... write the attribute that you are looking for there ;P

(I also did the same for the Explore button, but that can be an exercise for the interested ;P)

And now, BEHOLD

(How am I so popular that I got dms during the making of this >.&lt;)

And it will stay like this, forever*

*except if something happens to the addon, theme, css of it or whatever, but you get the point!

Hiii may i ask how you install fonts on bundlrs? I keep trying and it won’t work, I even looked at how you did it on your template but when I try to change the font it just doesn’t work?🥺 help please

yeah course i'll start from the very beginning

step 1

first i go to dafont and find a font i like and download it

step 2

i got to my files and extract all

step 3

i head my way over to catbox and just drop the OTF or TTF file into the box

step 4

ok now it's coding time, make sure you've got your code inbetween <style> </style> or else it wont work

so what you're going to write is

@font-face{ font-family:'font name'; src:url(ur catbox url);}

step 5

to actually use this font you've got to assign it to something (go to this website if you need extra help)

if you want the font to be assigned to everything you do this

p, r { font-family:font name; }

and if you need it bigger or smaller you can add " font-size:15px; " (15 can be replaced with anything)

hope this helps

Idk if anyone's ever asked you this but how do you go about animating? i.e. what program do you use and what's your process?

I really wanna start animating but it seems like such a daunting task lol

okay lots of words so. under the read more lmao

toon boom harmony is industry standard 2d animation software so thats what i use for freelance work and more finished things like that antibodies animation (though i did the bg painting in procreate) – but totally not the ideal software for just starting out with animation lmao not to mention the fact that its a subscription :/// small sketches like that gif of bones i posted i'll sometimes tackle in procreate or procreate dreams, which are wayy more affordable and user friendly, even if theye a bit less robust.

if youre looking for a combination of robust software with the best price, blender is free and has 2d capabilities that ive messed around with a few times – its super cool, but the interface can be confusing if you've never worked in blender before and it has a bit of a steep learning curve BUT theres also always always always good ol paper and pencil, and nowadays most people own a camera and can access video editing software to stitch things together the best things to start out with are the basics, like a ball bounce animation, different weight objects falling, walk cycles – once you get an understanding of how timing works with animation, then tackling how characters move is the next step. just going into complex characters right off the bat is an easy way to get frustrated FAST lmao starting simple is always the way to go also a lot of cartoons and stuff move A Lot Less than you would think, a 10 second animation at 12 frames per second is almost never going to be 120 different individual drawings – sometimes you can just get away with a few blinks and a bit of lip sync to really sell an animation, so while animation does take a lot of time and effort try not to be too intimidated!!

Hace unos días, cuando estaba compilando las fuentes para el pack que les subimos, me llegó una duda. Verán, algunas fuentes tienen versiones alternativas o caracteres alternativos. En Photoshop es fácil elegir la opción para usar esas variantes, pero me surgió la duda de cómo se lograría en CSS.

Bueno, al parecer la opción sí existe y se llama font-feature-settings. ¿Es infalible? Nope. ¿Podré usar todos los caracteres que tenga la fuente? No lo sé al cien por ciento. De todas maneras, quise hacerles este post para compartirles mi nuevo descubrimiento.

Tomemos de ejemplo la primera fuente de este pack, Balgon. Lo primero que vemos es el nombre de la fuente con caracteres que no están en los glifos principales, ¿cierto?

Pero si clickamos en "Ver todos los glifos", podremos darnos cuenta que sí están incluidos en la fuente, sólo que bajo un nombre diferente. En el caso de la fuente Balgon, tienen el nombre uniE000, de acuerdo al caracter. A veces, en otras fuentes, estos caracteres alternativos se llaman alt, aalt, salt, etcétera.*

Entonces, si queremos usar estas versiones, basta con agregar lo siguiente:

.tu-clase { font-feature-settings: "salt" 1; -webkit-font-feature-settings: "salt" 1; }

*Si no funciona con "salt", intenta alguno de los otros nombres como alt, aalt, etcétera.

¡Y voilà! Puedes ver el resultado dando click acá. ✨

¡Pero espera, hay más! Si hay más de un estilo alternativo, puedes sustituir el 1 por 2, o 3. Inténtalo y nos cuentas.

i think, if (when, actually, because i will be doing this in the future) i’m going to make a hangster x twisters au, then i need the prologue to be nothing but social media posts and comments. i need it to be 100% epistolary with news articles and twitter posts and YouTube comments and twitch livestreams

and then the actual story be in prose

and then the epilogue be a blog or article detailing the aftermath of the events

Hiii this may seem silly to ask but how do you change the colors of your text to the specific colors you use rather the default palette.

Hi there! Not silly at allll.

The text color options can be limiting if you stick to the default palette. Here’s a simple way to use custom HEX codes for your text:

Highlight Your Text Select the text you want to color while editing your post.

Choose a Default Color Click the text color tool (the paint bucket icon) in the text editor and pick a color from the default palette. I recommend using red since it’s easy to spot.

Switch to HTML Mode Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the post editor and go to the "Text Editor" section and select "HTML" from the dropdown.

Find Your Text and HEX Code Look for the line of code that corresponds to your highlighted text. It will look something like this: "<span style="color: #ff4930">Your Text Here</span>" The '#ff4930' part is the HEX code for red.

Replace the HEX Code Change the default HEX code (#ff4930 in this case) to your custom color. For example, if you want a jade color, you might use #5da271. Your updated code will look like this: "<span style="color: #5da271">Your Text Here</span>"

The website coolors is an excellent resource for color palates & hex codes

Preview and Save Go back to the visual editor to make sure the color looks right, then save or post!

Exploring 10 Sophisticated CSS Properties with Webtutor

In the ever-evolving landscape of web design, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) stands as a cornerstone for creating stunning and visually captivating websites. As a web designer or developer, having a firm grasp of CSS properties is crucial to craft unique user experiences and bring your creative vision to life. In this blog post, we will delve into advanced CSS properties that can elevate your design game to new heights. Plus, we will introduce you to WebTutor, the ultimate online platform for mastering code and unleashing your web design potential.

Flexbox (display: flex)

Gone are the days of complex float-based layouts. With the 'display: flex' property, Flexbox simplifies the way you structure layouts, align content, and distribute space within a container. Designers can create responsive and dynamic designs, making it easier to build everything from navigation bars to complete page layouts.

Grid Layout (display: grid)

For those craving even more control over layouts, the 'display: grid' property offers a powerful solution. Grid Layout divides a web page into rows and columns, allowing designers to arrange content in a grid format. This approach grants unparalleled control over alignment, spacing, and responsiveness.

CSS Variables (custom properties)

CSS Variables, also known as custom properties, enable designers to define reusable values within stylesheets. This advancement allows for easier theming, dynamic theming, and quicker updates across an entire website. By centralizing key values, designers can swiftly adjust colors, fonts, and other design elements across the site.

Transitions and Animations (transition, animation)

Creating engaging user experiences often involves smooth transitions and animations. With the 'transition' and 'animation' properties, designers can add eye-catching effects to various elements, enhancing user engagement and guiding their attention to important content.

Box Shadow (box-shadow)

Box shadows add depth and dimension to design elements, making them stand out from the page. This property enables designers to create subtle or bold shadows that can make buttons, cards, and other elements pop, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.

Background Blend Mode (background-blend-mode)

Background images can play a significant role in design aesthetics. The 'background-blend-mode' property lets designers blend background images with background colors in creative ways, resulting in captivating visual effects and unique design elements.

Transform (transform)

The 'transform' property opens up a world of possibilities for manipulating elements in 2D and 3D space. Designers can rotate, scale, skew, and translate elements to achieve striking visual effects that captivate users' attention and create a sense of interactivity.

Custom Fonts (font-face)

Typography is a cornerstone of web design, and the 'font-face' property allows designers to use custom fonts that might not be available on users' devices. This property ensures consistent typography across different platforms, enhancing the website's visual identity.

Gradients (linear-gradient, radial-gradient)

Gradients are versatile tools for adding depth and visual interest to backgrounds, buttons, and other design elements. With 'linear-gradient' and 'radial-gradient' properties, designers can experiment with color blends, creating stunning visual effects that catch the eye.

Scroll Snap (scroll-snap-type)

Enhancing user experience is paramount in modern web design. The 'scroll-snap-type' property assists in creating smoother scrolling experiences by snapping to predefined points on a page. This is particularly useful for websites with sections or galleries that need precise alignment during scrolling.

do u need desktop to get fonts on bundlrs or is it also on mobile?

desktop helps a lot when turning fonts into a link using catbox, but you can also do it on mobile

in the edit section, you type:

<style> @font-face { src:url("font link .ttf / .otf"); font-family: 'font name'; } p, r { font-family: font name; } </style>

the "font-face" thing will import your font, and the "p, r" just stands for "everything in the pastebin" you can change "p, r" to "em, a, strong, code" etc

this sntry really helps explaining all the "p, r, em, a, strong, etc" thing

also, if the font is too big you can add

p, r { font-family: font name; font-size: 18px !important; }

you can change the number to anything you want

hope this helps! if you want links to fonts, i upload a few into the purrfect tale discord (invite here) :D feel free to ping me (@ lavgal) in "other help" if you want me to turn a font into a link for you

also if you don't know how to turn a font into a link, i made a tutorial here
