OK, so maybe I’m a little late to the CSS drop shadow game, but here’s a cool and relatively simple technique for “onion-skinned drop shadows.”

The CSS is a bit more complicated — but not much. There are basically three things that the style rules must accomplish for the shadow:

• Make It Show. Assign each of the three shadow image components (shadow + two corners) to a different layer in the onion skin stack.
• Make It Drop. Create an offset which moves the drop shadow down, and to the right of the object.
• Make it shrink-to-fit. Force the divs surrounding the object to collapse upon it.

This is going to be a short but meaningful post…

Building a company from nothing is difficult — especially when it’s a product.  Not only does it suck up your time, but it’s exhausting. 

Getting even a small team to executive is difficult, even more so when leadership is not clearly defined.  And the fact that such a small team does not need to be in one location is comforting and is something to embrace.  Despite this fact, I admit that we’re not totally firing on all cylinders yet — frustrating, maybe not surprising, but nonetheless not yet ideal.

Recommendations for all start-up ventures: have clear ideas of where your enterprise is going, set achievable yet ambitious goals, realize that you learn at ALL stages of the game, and constantly hone, refine and publicize.

That’s it for now. 

I really want to post more often.
