I found a dusty prehistoric hard disk. A 30MB one… yeah, it’s 30MB, not 30 GB. Let’s see what’s hiding in that.
Meet the hard 30MB disk

Opened the back cover
Removed the metal frame
Removed the side screws. Figured out that they could just be turned to unscrew.
The grey thing was glued. Removed it with a screwdriver.
The top cover was also removed with a screwdriver
Inside the hard disk
The head of the hard disk
This is the most critical part of the hard disk. The head does not touch the disk, but lies extremely close to it. When your hard disk gets a shock or whenever some dust gets into it, the head may accidentally touch the disk. This is where your hard disk crashes and you just let out your plethora of swearing.
The hard disk platter
Note: Here’s why it’s called a hard disk, compared to the floppy disk. Here, the platter disk is rigid. It is a circular disk on which magnetic data is stored.
The head removed
The hard disk spindle motor
That’s a good souvenir now hanging on my door.

Whenever you use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), defined styles are applied in the same order as they are read by your browser.
If a style is present at the top of a stylesheet and is changed afterwards in the document, the new property will be applied.
Let’s see that in details.
h3 {
color: #0000ff;
}
This line will set your <h3> header tag to blue. However, if further down in your stylesheet you redefine the <h3> tag:
h3 {
color: #00ff00;
}
The color of your <h3> heading will now be green.
The !important rule in CSS is used whenever your want to prevent some property to be redefined.
h3 {
color: #0000ff !important;
}
This way, even if you redefine the <h3> tag again in your stylesheet, the <h3> tag will stay blue. However, this does not work in IE.
Try it now. Here’s the HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h3> Lorem Ipsum... </h3>
</body>
</html>
And the CSS file:
h3 {
color: #0000ff !important;
}
h3 {
color: #00ff00;
}
Remove the !important and refresh the page. You’ll notice the text turns to green.
How to use the !important with WordPress?
Ever wanted to make your comments stand out among all other comments on your blog? A simple hack to highlight the author’s comments can be used using the !important rule. Just add these lines of codes in your style.css file:
.bypostauthor {
background-color: #c0c0c0 !important;
}
You can change the #c0c0c0 color to any color of your choice.This way, your visitors and subscribers will easily find your comments.
