Hi there Best Rankers, thought I'd share a few CSS tips and tricks today.  I know, I know, CSS is one of those things hated by many developers who work server side... but is a modern web technology and does help to know a little bit about the subject, especially if you're developing websites like we are!  I've actually grown to really like CSS and found it quite powerful when it comes to creating the front-facing, user end portion of websites.

Here are some nice tidbits of CSS that might help with your everyday coding:

CSS positioning
