Welcome to www.widdle.com :: Home of The Widdler
Widdle is a virtual place I inhabit. It's the place I go to do some coding, experiment with new ideas and concepts, post photos on the web and type stream of consciousness thoughts within silly html tags...
I am a front end web developer who believes in web standards and accessibility.
This site is a constant work in progress.

The LESS CSS pre-compiler is something I have wanted to try out for a while now. After a little play, I can see that it's a powerful addition to the front end devs toolbox. I currently work in a large organisation that deals
with multiple CMS websites, based on Epi Server. We already do something similar with our core css templates using SQL db's and bespoke dotnet code. However, I can see how something
like LESS CSS could be much more powerful and responsive to our company needs. Interesting syntax employing variables, mixims and parametric mixims.
