<p><a href="https://lynnandtonic.com/">Lynn Fisher</a> is my guest this week! You might know her as <a href="https://codepen.io/lynnandtonic">@lynnandtonic</a> on CodePen and most other platforms. We get to talk about her <a href="https://a.singlediv.com/">A Single Div</a> project and all the CSS magic that goes into those, other creative projects and why those are so satisfying, a recent transition over to Netlify, and the fact that we've worked together on <a href="https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/">an illustration project</a> without ever having met. </p> <h3 id="h-time-jumps">Time Jumps</h3> <h3 id="h-sponsor-videopress">Sponsor: <a href="https://videopress.com/?aff=8638">VideoPress</a></h3> <p>There is a bit of a rebirth of VideoPress that just happened! If you run a self-hosted WordPress site like we do, <a href="https://videopress.com/?aff=8638">VideoPress</a> is a major upgrade to hosting videos in content. You get VideoPress through <a href="https://jetpack.com/?aff=8638">Jetpack</a>. If you buy Jetpack Complete, you've got it, otherwise, it's an ala-carte purchase. Meaning if VideoPress is the only feature of Jetpack you want, no problem, it's literally the only thing you need to pay for and use. To name a few things... with VideoPress you get a nice customized video player, cloud-hosted optimized video delivery, playback speed control, and the videos will look good on mobile without you having to manually create a poster.</p>
