I just used CSS floats to achieve a layout on a site that otherwise uses Grid. Could've hacked my way to success using Grid, but it would have been a lot of CSS, or changes to the markup; neithr of which felt right for the project. So: floats. Weird.

✍️ I've been thinking about pagination a fair bit lately, and my latest blog post is about whether pagination take you to a new page or not. Sounds like a silly question, but it's totally not. Have a read! www.tempertemper.net/blog/should-...

'Next' and 'Previous' in a paginated list is straightforward: 'Next' takes you forward a page, even if it's backwards in time, like a list of blog posts; 'Previous' takes you back a page. But 'Next' and 'Previous' when on an item within a reverse chronological list is all sorts of mind-bending 😵‍💫
