Made By: Me

Last week Naysan Naraqi and Josh Janssen from Envato came and shot this short video of me. All the video was recorded in 2 quick days and they had it complete and published before they even left Milwaukee. Pretty impressive!

Since being published, I’ve heard from loads of people who connected with some of the themes in it and wanted to thank me personally. Like the work from anywhere stuff and the weight loss stuff. I’ll forward your thanks to Josh and Naysan, as they really made that all come to light.

Thoughts? Email me or comment below. Also CodePen PRO is quite a deal. 🙏

    Thanks for sharing. That was a nice quick update of a day-in-the-life-of-Chris. It was good to see just the day to day stuff that happens with someone that’s a ‘rock star’ in the web design industry. I was grateful to hear your very realistic explanation of success: ‘Anything I have ever done that’s had any success at all, is because I just sat and did it. And kept doing it for a long time.’

    Oh, and that is one cool dog!

    Wow Chris…it’s been a while since I’ve kept up with CSS-Tricks but dude, I’m so happy for your physical transformation!

    A big thank you is in order because in 2012, I decided I needed a technical skill so I picked up Dockett’s HTML/CSS book. When I put that down, I found css-tricks.com which held my hand through the process of designing, coding, and launching websites.

    Because of what I’ve learned from you, I moved from basically a part-time researcher to a full-time digital marketing specialist within the same company. I even hand-coded a completely custom WP theme for the company, php and all, using what I’ve learned from css-tricks, your v10 redesign, Treehouse, and DigWP.

    So thanks again. I still wear my green CSS-Tricks proud.

    Vincent
