Some time ago, I came across Record Club, which calls itself “A new way to discover and share music with friends.”
This won’t be a post discussing their idea—just their blog page.
I liked how when you hovered over a card, the whole card was clickable. However, they didn’t wrap an <a> around the whole card—that wouldn’t be good for accessibility and SEO. The anchor tag only wrapped around the title of the post.
After some inspecting and researching, I found out how this can be achieved with an ::after pseudo element. I won’t go into detail here—maybe I should in a technical post—but in the end, this is how the Dashify blog page looked:
I also touched up the article template, making the column narrower and text larger for a more comfortable reading experience.
The last thing I did today was write up an article about the WordPress Playground, a neat tool from the official WordPress team that I found as an alternative to InstaWP. It’s not directly related to WooCommerce, so I don’t know how much it will help the right audience discover Dashify, but it was a piece of knowledge I couldn’t save to myself.
