Summary
A basic guide to CSS and HTML, dumbed down for my brain and yours, free gift included for the guy who’s name I know. I am far from expert, but I’m doing my best! First chapter is explanation and demonstration, second chapter is the raw CSS code for your copy-paste loving hands. Go on, rob me.
Note: I’ll be doing my CSS experiments here so I don’t muck up my updating fics. Just stay on the first three chapters and you’re fine.

Summary
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.

This is a tutorial/live example on how to create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" fic. While this has been explained before (see here), this particular tutorial shows you how to use a work skin to hide the next parts from the reader until they click through to get to them.

Summary
Here are some interesting features I developed for filtering works using site skins.
1. Showing only works in specified languages.
2. Hiding works by # of slash relationships.
3. Applying different filters based on which option you sort works by.
4. Applying different filters based on what items are checked off to include/exclude.
