Just Chatting: The Shaquille O’Neal Of Birds
The show is down 2 members, so Norm and Kooch take the reins and discuss their characters, leveling up, motivations and the story in general. They also discuss Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus, music and a few video game comments sprinkled in for good measure.

Eps 38: CSS Positioning
The position property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element.
There are five different position values: Static, Relative, Fixed, Absolute, Sticky
Properties: top, bottom, left, right, z-index, clip (Clips an absolutely positioned element)
Static
HTML elements are positioned static by default. Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties. An element with position: static; is not positioned in any special way; it is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page:
Relative
positioned relative to its normal position. Setting the top, right, bottom, and left properties of a relatively-positioned element will cause it to be adjusted away from its normal position. Other content will not be adjusted to fit into any gap left by the element.
Fixed
positioned relative to the viewport, which means it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. The top, right, bottom, and left properties are used to position the element. A fixed element does not leave a gap in the page where it would normally have been located.
Absolute
positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed). However; if an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling.
Sticky
positioned based on the user’s scroll position. A sticky element toggles between relative and fixed, depending on the scroll position. It is positioned relative until a given offset position is met in the viewport – then it “sticks” in place (like position:fixed).
Overlapping Elements
When elements are positioned, they can overlap other elements. The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed in front of, or behind, the others). An element can have a positive or negative stack order. An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
Note: If two positioned elements overlap without a z-index specified, the element positioned last in the HTML code will be shown on top.

Eps 37: Welcome and WordPress Tutorial
The first episode in quite a long time. The first 10 minutes or so are a general welcome statement and update while the last 35 mins are a tutorial on how to edit and update WordPress posts and pages. I’m a bit rusty so hopefully it’s not too hard on your ears.
Look for more shows coming soon.

Eps 36: Document Object Model (DOM)
Document Object Model (DOM)
Taken from w3schools.com – The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of a document.”
The W3C DOM standard is separated into 3 different parts:
Core DOM – standard model for all document types
XML DOM – standard model for XML documents
HTML DOM – standard model for HTML documents
The HTML DOM is a standard object model and programming interface for HTML. It defines:
The HTML elements as objects
The properties of all HTML elements
The methods to access all HTML elements
The events for all HTML elements
In other words: The HTML DOM is a standard for how to get, change, add, or delete HTML elements.
Viewed as a hierarchical tree – image is in the w3schools link attached above

Eps 35: Fixed Position Footer
What is a fixed position footer?
The concept of taking a footer that more than likely doesn’t sit at the bottom of a screen comfortably and forcing it to stay put at the bottom of the screen.
This is ideal if you have information there that you would like people to have a constant view on. Ie, social links, navigation links, contact information
Content goes here.
#footer {
position:fixed;
left:0px;
bottom:0px;
Height:30px;
width:100%;
}
