I recall some time ago completing a track for web design where we built a "smells like bacon' website. Specifically I'm looking to rewatch the segments on fluid grids. I can't find these videos. How can I search this site. Does someone have a link?

16,510 PointsHi glenn,
The "Smells like Bakin' site" was used as the basis for some of the very earliest courses on Treehouse. I believe that they have now all been replaced by newer courses. The How to Make a Website course is one of the newer replacements.
You might want to have a look through the newer content to see if it provides the help that you need.
But ..... digging around I think you might have been talking about the old "Build A Responsive Website" course. It's 5 sections can still be accessed, although the course itself has now been archived:
Introduction to Responsive Web Design - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-responsive-website/introduction-to-responsive-web-design/introduction-to-the-project
Creating a Fluid Foundation - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-responsive-website/creating-a-fluid-foundation/converting-pixels-to-percentages-2
Adaptive Design - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-responsive-website/responsive-design/intro-to-responsive-web-design
Responsive Design - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-responsive-website/responsive-design/intro-to-responsive-web-design
Advanced Techniques - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-responsive-website/advanced-techniques/viewport-sized-typography-fittextjs-2
There was another course presented by Nick called "Build A Simple Website", which also used the "Smells like Bakin' site" but I don't remember it covering much on fluid grids - but I could be wrong. If you want me to try and find links to that course just let me know.
Hope that helps.

19,810 PointsThe How to Make a Website course is the one with the Smells like Bakin' site.
There's also a bonus course on Fluid Grids. I haven't taken it yet, but it looks good.

16,510 PointsHi Roy,
I'm slightly confused by that, as the 'How to make a website' course that builds the portfolio project was released back in Feb 2014. I thought that the old "Build A Simple Website" would have been removed about a year or more ago.
So Which course have you done recently that uses the "Smells like Bakin' site" ?

19,810 PointsWhen I took the How to Make a Website course in the Web Design track, it used the Smells Like Bakin' site. I took it around the first of October.

16,510 PointsNo, it doesn't use the "Smells like Bakin' site"
The About this course describes the course as: "If you’ve never built a website before and you have no coding or design experience, this is the place to start. In this project, we learn how to build a modern portfolio website for desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. We start with basic HTML and CSS syntax. Next, we learn how to build custom web pages with an image gallery and contact page. Finally, we walk through how to share a website live on the web."
It's definitely the portfolio website and not the old baking website.
So I've got no idea how you ended up looking at such old videos.

19,810 PointsI don't know either, unless it had something to do with starting with the free trial. I went to paid after the trial ended and I was finished with the course by then.
