A while ago I was asked how to get a similar effect for the navbar like in this template. After taking a look at the code I was not super happy with how they solved the problem and decided to do it a little faster and easiert. The result can be seen on the demo page.

two menus combined into one off-canvas nav
I created this menu at work, when we wanted to have two menus but just one off-canvas navigation after the collapse. The idea was to combine an off-canvas menu with a classic navbar and then merge them into one separate off-canvas navigation on the collapse. Suprisingly, this proved to be not as easy as I initially had thought. But it was still achieved in the end, here you’ll see how.

pretty much the easiest 1-Level-Menu ever
Menus. The first Menu I wrote was a list that was made looking like a navigation with CSS. I still use a lisst for a drop down menu. But since we are finally ready to use Flexbox, I have given up on lists and turned to a simpler markip. This navigation is written with flexbos and becomes off-canvas once it collapses.

A dropdown menu without coding skills
When I first started creating responsive Websites, navigation was always one of the hardest things to accomplish. Because of that, I almost always went with Bootstrap. But using a pretty huge framework for something pretty small like a menu pretty soon started bothering me. So I searched for tutorials on how to write a responsive menu and soon started, to write my own, because there was almost always something that I did not like.
For all of you out there that are in the same position I was, when I started, I created this menu. It is a three level navigation, that will be generated from a simple link list.

Why I will no longer remember my front matter variables
After an Introduction to Java a few years ago in school I decided to leave the programming languages behind me. I think if we’d have gotten an introduction to Ruby, my opinion would have been different. I had studied ruby for one day, when I wrote the first version of this generator. After a year of Java I was not even able to program as much functionality as I can with just a few lines of JavaScript and CSS today. And the thing I wrote in ruby is definitely more useful. Because It means that I will never again write front matter declarations in a jekyll page.
Centering is not that easy…
The Problem
I’m a big grid fan. A “left-middle-right”-layout is something I’ve used hundreds of times. But because I’ve mostly just worked with elements of the same width, I’ve never realized before, that it is actually not that easy, to really center the middle element. So when I recently wanted to do the same thing with three buttons, I found out, that I had to figure out a new method.
But a solution was found and that’s what I want to talk about today.
