Cleverly utilizing WordPress&#8217;s default page build along with CSS&#8217;s pseudo classes and combinators makes it possible to be highly specific with our targeted styles while leaving the original HTML completely alone. In short, if we look for ways, we can often avoid adding more classes and wrapping text in spans to have WordPress and CSS do the work for us.<\/p>\n<p><em>WordCamp Omaha 2015 is happening Oct. 10-11 at Metropolitan Community College&#8217;s Fort Omaha Campus. <a href=\"https:\/\/2015.omaha.wordcamp.org\/tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\">Get tickets<\/a> today!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Collinsworth is a graphic designer and WordPress developer from Omaha, Nebraska.
