Renewal of the Blog, Part II
Posted by David | Filed under Technology
After 8 hours of implementation, the new look and feel is almost complete. Oh, there’s lots of detail work still to do, but the layout and coding are in place. The hunt for bugs is on, and I’ve already found some doozies. Comments and Trackbacks will soon be re-enabled!
Among some of the resources that have strongly contributed to the project are:
Inman Flash Replacement
The headers for every section are actually dynamic Flash clips generated via Shaun Inman’s brilliant script. This allows the use of rare fonts, such as the current Helvetica 45 Light. However, I’m having trouble getting them to display on the individual archives.
Box Model Tweaking
Using CSS to organize elements on a page quickly becomes a hassle with different browsers. Peter-Paul Koch explains the important differences and notes a couple of ways to define the box model in the newest browsers, such as Mozilla’s “-moz-box-sizing: border-box” property used on this site. Unfortunately, that same box model definition isn’t valid CSS, breaking the site’s validation.
