I generally write CSS piecemeal taking bits from web tutorials.

Ditto, the simplest way.
I'm NOT big into CSS. Getting too old to try to store everything in my mind.
I like W3 Schools.
There I found code that allows me to write on the "back" of images on my website and image comparison slider code.

My first computer was a PDP-8. Had a whopping 64K of memory. Took a whole room and required punch cards to enter data and program (machine language or Fortran) information. The Commodore 64 with floppies and a dial-up modem was such an advancement some 10 years later!

Upper right is a Compaq Portable - actually, luggable - it was my second computer. My first computer (1980) was an Apple II with two external 5.25” floppy drives (no hard drive). Before that, I used IBM 360/370 and Univac 1100s with card/tape input with 3-hour turnaround (when I was lucky).

I would apply the same name to all of them. Good riddance! 
Yes, I know we wouldn't the machines we have today without the ones that came before, but imagine if we were still using them, like an Apple iie with 16k of ram.
