The rotateX() CSS function adds real 3D depth, but only when the parent has a perspective value. This covers the syntax, the perspective gotcha that flattens your rotation, and examples like 3D flip cards and unfolding accordions.
CSS rotateZ looks like the 2D rotate() but runs differently: it can push rendering onto the GPU and keep animations off the main thread. Covers the performance difference, isometric layouts, and the angle units worth knowing.
Staggered zigzag layouts usually turn into brittle flexbox hacks that wreck DOM order. Here is how CSS Grid plus a translateY transform gives you a stable waterfall effect, including the gap math and the overflow fix.
A look at the experimental CSS corner-shape property for building folded-corner effects without clip-path polygons or gradient hacks, including how to add the bevel, shape the crease, and fall back gracefully in Firefox and Safari.
A leaner way to build scrollytelling: the scrollsnapchange and scrollsnapchanging events, the CSS and JS behind a Mother’s Day 2026 experiment, and where browser support stands.
Gutenberg 23.1 finalizes image uploads in parallel instead of one thumbnail at a time. It also adds an experimental taxonomy UI in the admin, Drawer and Autocomplete primitives, and a filter that hides the Classic block from the inserter.
Saturation is a correction tool, not a volume knob. How CSS saturate() actually paints, why the order you chain filters in changes the result, and the stacking context backdrop-filter quietly creates.
WordPress 7.0 stopped hardcoding which blocks support Block Bindings and Pattern Overrides. Support is resolved through a filter now, so any lookup table you were trusting is out of date. Also new: a native Accordion block and an Icon block.
CSS Values Level 5 adds random() and random-item(), which the browser resolves at render time. Why that beats Sass build-time randomization, PHP inline styles and Math.random() for scattered layouts and varying animation delays.
WordPress.com’s new short-form blogging theme stores micro-posts as ordinary WordPress posts, so replies stay comments and reblogs keep their attribution. Here is what that buys you over renting space on a social platform.
