Live-Code sites with Chrome dev tools

Edit HTML and CSS with Chrome Dev Tools.

Following on from my two previous blogs about Child Themes for WordPress here’s news about an article published in .Net magazine’s November 2015 issue. Written by Caner Uguz, its shows you how to use Chrome Developer Tools’ CSS and HTML features to try out different layouts.

In principle it’s similar to the techniques I described in my Child Theme articles but Caner suggests that it is a useful techniques to give immedite previews, especially when sitting before a customer. He even describes how you can save these changes to your actual development files.

Caner has created a video to go with the magazine article. You can view it here:

One of the points that I didn’t mention in my Child Themes blog article was the fact that, if you create a child theme any alterations you make aren’t overwritten if the parent theme is updated by the author or by WordPress.

This is a danger if you make any alterations solely to the parent theme.
