One of the most important principles to learn about CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) is CSS Specificity. What is CSS Specificity? Specificity is the act of specifying a certain element directly by it’s name. In other words, it’s like calling someone by the first name. For example, say we have the name John. There’s probably a few million people out in the world who’s name is John. And so if you tell all Johns to move to the left, then all of them will move to the left. The same goes with CSS elements.

Naturally I didn’t care about that until the last 2 hours when I suddenly got irked by it, so I researched on how to move wordpress to it’s own directory, and I’ll give you a review of the process step by step instead of you having to read through some mess.

As a web developer, I’m sure most of us code our sites in our favorite browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome. Sure enough, we speed through coding as everything works out right, but then we get slapped down by clients when they open their Internet Explorer browser and they see a huge mess. If you haven’t experienced this trouble, then either you’re a web coding prodigy, or just haven’t checked out some of your works on IE6 and up.
