Web Design Ledger’s Setting Up Readable Online Web Copy using CSS
i got into web development because i wanted to produce and highlight web writing (and i thought it would be a useful skill i could apply in any career, if nothing else). it was my way of being in publishing and working with words while also dabbling with graphic design and programming. that last part i didn’t know until after i was deeply entrenched in web development, but it turns out that this is a good area for me. i’m putting the finishing touches on my pro bono web site project and am giving myself a pat on the back for having learned all of the tips listed in the article above so that by the time i read the article i could say: “awesome! i already do that!”
