HTML Body Stack

HTML Body – New RapidWeaver Stack

Drag & Drop HTML Editor Tool

The HTML Body Stack was created for Developers & Designers who want the freedom to start their projects truly from scratch. This Stack gives access to every part of the HTML file directly in the Stacks’ editor, giving you freedom to add external JavaScript & CSS libraries with just a few clicks. With full control over every single file & element, you can keep your code free of any of any unnecessary fluff that comes along with traditional RapidWeaver themes and frameworks. Note that this Stack is meant for advanced users who are well versed in HTML & CSS.

We created this Stack as a way to give us the control we wanted to have in order to create HTML templates for our own web development projects. Using a hybrid Stacks/HTML editor gives us the ability to really mold projects into whatever we need them to be, whether we need to include simple to use RapidWeaver Stacks or import advanced external libraries.

Improving Your Coding Skills

To find resources to help improve your coding is not difficult on the internet these days – fact it’s hard not to find your answers in many cases. You can find blogs and forums from just about any web design topic such as HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript or even more advanced topics like MySQL and PHP. Over time I’ve found a hand full that are my personal favorites and that I’d like to recommend if you are a RapidWeaver user who wants to sharpen their coding skills. RapidWeaver is great software for users who want to avoid having to know much if any code, though knowing code is only going to enhance your experience and unlock more possibilities for you. The choice is yours.

1. Code Academy

For free help it really is hard to beat Code Academy. They don’t cover every topic, though they do touch on some great foundation topics and give you a chance to see your code live.

2. lynda.com

I’ve been a member at Lynda.com for years now and have used it to learn most of what I know today. They do not cover all topics or even every piece of software, but they do have a very extensive library and its growing all the time. In addition, they cover not only topics of web design, but also graphic design, SEO, business, and much much more.

On the downside Lynda.com does require a $25/mo membership fee, though I think it’s well worth every penny. You can also upgrade your membership and pay $37.50/mo which will give you access to all their exercise files.

3. CSS-Tricks

If you subscribe to a blog and want to improve your coding then definitely add CSS-Tricks to your list… if you haven’t already. Chris Coyier continues to delve deeper into some fun and amazing coding that doesn’t stop at CSS. In addition, he provides great example and snippets for achieving CSS and jQuery techniques.

What’s Yours?

There are lots more tools out there in the internet for increasing your skills and I’ve only touched on 3 ones that I love here. If you have one you love please comment and share what you love about it so much. If you want to explore other great ones that are not my personal favorites, but still very useful, check out these:

Aether RapidWeaver Theme

Aether RapidWeaver Theme Release

Our new theme Aether offers a minimal & business design with a rich set of customization options and all new design features. Aether is fully responsive and works in all modern browsers (works back to IE8). The theme takes advantage of some very awesome HTML5 & CSS3 effects to add an even more beautiful experience for visitors using the latest browsers, though will still appear great in older browsers.

Aether features both a built in slider and an extra content section for imported sliders (this is typically done with plugins like PlusKit). In addition, Aether comes packed with the Glide Slide slider completely FREE. Glide Slide is a fully responsive slider that allows inner content to be placed with a transition effect that emulates parallax animations.

WeaverPix has been tested inside the extra content slider section and performs beautifully – demos of some of our favorite sliders from WeaverPix has been displayed inside the preview of Aether as well.

Finally, Aether comes loaded with a fully responsive lightbox for your photo galleries.
