One of the things we thought might be nice to change is the search input. We’ve put it from the sidebar into the header and we use a common effect where you have to click to expand the input. We have received many requests on explaining how we did it and today we’d like to show you how to create a search input like that from scratch. The aim is to maximize compatibility for mobile devices and older browsers (down to IE8). Although this might seem like a super-easy thing, we’ll have to apply some tricks in order to make it work properly.

Horizontal Portfolio Layout with CSS3 Animations & jQuery
In this tutorial today we’re going to create a horizontal portfolio layout with cool hover effects inspired. The website is made in Flash, so I thought it would be nice to recreate the flash hover effect of the portfolio items using CSS3 animations and transitions, and some jQuery to replicate the image pan effect on hover.
I’ve also added a simple falling down effect on scroll, where the portfolio items fall down as soon as they enter the visible area of the viewport.
