site-related notes

i'm messing with the template, almost hourly, in an attempt to get something aesthetically pleasing without knowing jack about ... well, about just about everything in web design.

oh, i was OK in 1996. in fact, i was pretty good, because i was chasing around this intern we had at the paper. she was our HTML expert and around her, i was like a moth at a flame. a well-built, ponytail-wearing, gum-popping flame who had no earthly idea what i was after ... or did, and knew i had no chance, but enjoyed the attention anyway.

but now it's 2006, and i've not picked up anything in the past 10 years besides "target=_blank" (which, come to think of it, is pretty accurate for me lately). so i'm messing with the blogger-provided template, and as i attempt to learn CSS better, i've at least figured out how to change fonts.

so if you're on OS X, and especially on Tiger, you'll see better fonts -- if you've got the default OS fonts installed. if you don't, then you'll get arial and like it. if you've got futura and american typewriter, though, i think it should look better.

not good, but better.
