SXA CLI Doubling Your CSS

The SXA CLI is a great tool for working with themes in Sitecore instances that use SXA. This tool was introduced in version 9.3 and has simplified and streamlined a lot of the tasks related to theme development! The Problem I’m not entirely sure when this issue was introduced. I think I remember some of these symptoms in a 9.3…

Sitecore 9 Forms and AJAX with SXA

I’m currently working on porting the rbaconsulting.com website over to Sitecore 9 using SXA and one of the new features I’ve been really excited to work with is the new Experience Forms module!  I know that it has…um…a few known issues, but I figured I could work around those.  One requirement I had, which works nicely functions in WFFM (does WFFM do…

I installed a clean Sitecore 8.1…

Styling the Sitecore Content Tree with CSS

It’s Saturday morning and in between doing some light, honey-do-list items, I ran across a tweet from Dan Solovay, illustrating a relatively obscure (and would venture to guess, very lightly used) option in Sitecore.  If used properly, it could provide some benefit to content authors.
