Beating ourselves up isn't helpful, I find. It's a logical fast-fix in #CSS.. I've done it myself (badMols) FFS. The point is we can do better but it requires effort and learning, which isn't fast and easy. Just keep at it, course correct where you can, and keep learning/sharing.

I'm afraid that's where I'm at. I redid my site recently, and, lacking knowledge of how to do it "better" I resorted to the following to tame my photo captions: .wp-caption-text {opacity: 1 !important;} allthepages.org, fwiw.

I agree, no beating on myself. I did it and moved on. But I wanted to share just to broaden the conversation w/an example. It's funny, for some reason I was reminded of how hard it was to sell folks at work on the value of CSS in the early days.

What long, strange trip it has been and continues to be! I remain fascinated with the Web's potential and uses for international sharing and caring aspect which dominated #open Web principles. We can and are doing work that matters, even our missteps. They've lead to solutions :D
