I’m pleased to announce Ethan and I are bringing the Handcrafted CSS workshop to Nashville ! We’ll reprise of the one-day course we organized last September here in Salem, Massachusetts and again last November in London with Carsonified . As always, each attendee will get a copy of the book ( Handcrafted CSS: Video Edition including the DVD ) and we’ll spend the day walking through much of its content and more. This event was a great success in New England and Old England, and we’re thrilled to bring it south, to Tennessee. So join us on June 21st at the historic Hermitage Hotel right smack in downtown Nashville (steps away from the famed Ryman Auditorium and other sights). For more info on the event and to book a place (there’s a max of 100 spots), visit the Handcrafted CSS Workshop site . … Read the rest here
