Head tag cheat sheet, reactive UI & bash scripting – Development links round up #1
We’d like to introduce a new series of posts that highlights useful links and resources we’ve found regarding design, development or the WordPress ecosystem in general.
This week, we debut with a bunch of development references and resources:
<head> Cheat Sheet
The <head> element of your pages is arguably the most important section in an HTML document, since it contains all kinds of elements that are there not only to display pages correctly from the visual stand point, but also to interact and work together with external services such as social networks or browsers.
