Tricycle support the Kerry Bicycle Festival

Posted under Events

The Inaugural Kerry Bicycle Festival is taking place from the 17th to the 20th of April. That’s a Thursday to a Sunday. There will be events ranging from bicycle clowns to bicycle films to bicycle jazz musicians. On the Saturday people are invited to pull those bikes out of the sheds and take to the streets of Tralee for the first ever Family Cycle. On the Sunday a picnic will be held in Ballyseedey. Inspired by the success of Dublin Bicycle Festival which took place in July 2006, the Kingdom will now have its own two-wheeled day in the sun!

Give Your Hyperlink Cursor a “Hand” in CSS

Posted under Tips & Tricks

hand pointer

If you use the web you will be familiar with this little “hand” cursor that appears over hyperlinks and buttons.

Normal Arrow CursorOccasionally people will notice that certain Navigation Menus or links are missing the “hand” cursor and appear just as a normal “Arrow” cursor like this >>

Well if you use CSS and you are interested in web development then there is a simple way to change the cursor to appear as the “hand” and there are actually a number of other choices too.

All you have to do is apply a class to the linked item, (e.g. a hyperlink) in your html code.
<a href=”www.google.ie” class=”any_class_at_all”>Google</a>

Now follow up in your CSS Stylesheet with this simple porperty:

.any_class_at_all{ cursor: pointer; }

(And yes, a “pointer” does refer to alittle hand, not an arrow cursor!)

I hope this helps! It worked for me anyway. Slán go fóill!
