MigrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies. Updates

@ankitguptaindia has completed migration of all ‘abandoned’ articles.

After some discussion, a decision was made to drop articles that are similar to https://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_Lists_with_CSS as it was pretty much a generic css guide.

@normalize is checking into articles’ formatting.

In the cases where CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. code is provided, screenshots should be used instead of trying to generate an actual css display (css results might vary on different browsers).

Lastly, code that are present on Helphub should ideally be able to be directly copy and pasted for use by normal end users.
