bulleted lists dont have to be boring

emojipedia is a really useful tool for web developers, especially when you're making lists. it can even double as your bullet point source.

a refresher on the html for a list

<ul>
  <li>first item</li>
  <li>second item</li>
</ul>

how to change the bullets in a list:

by default, browsers will put a solid round dot in front of each list item.

  • example here with default dot!
  • not very aesthetic

but you can change them! here's the same list, but with an emoji from emojipedia:

  • example with a custom bullet
  • so much cuter

the css that makes it happen:

.fancy-list {
    list-style-type: none; 
    padding-left: -; 
}

.fancy-list li::before {
    content: "🍄"; 
    color: var(--coral);     
}

put the fancy-list tag inside your opening ul tag

i called mine fancy-list, but you can pick any name you like! just remember to use that same name inside your <ul> tag, otherwise your cute custom bullets won't show up.

here's what's happening:

  • list-style-type: none; kills the default dots.
  • padding-left: 0; realigns the text.
  • li::before lets you place something before each item.
  • content: "something"; that “something” is your emoji.
  • color: var(--coral); pick your color! i used my color token here

88x31 buttons

tiny graphics • big feelings

i was invited to a webring (screaming internally!!) which means i finally get to make my own 88×31. if you're new to them too, here's the quick links i used to make it + a place to collect mine.

what's an 88x31?

a teeny banner (exactly 88x31px) you can trade, collect, and stick on your site. think stickers for your web notebook.

my little button rail

i'll drop my button + any i collect here:
