Nine and a half years. That’s how old this blog is. And since day one, I’ve always used a theme where the text was 600 pixels wide. At first I used a stock theme. Then I got into coding my own theme. But the column width stayed the same. Partly this was because I didn’t want to disrupt the layout of old posts where images floated to the left or right. Partly it was because mobiles were getting popular and I wanted my site to be readable on a mobile without (shudder) horizontal scrolling.<\/p>\n
But the day has finally come. The old small-image posts now represent a tiny percent of the site content, and I’m okay if they look stupid. Mobiles now have 1080p resolution, so we have more pixels to work withI have no idea how anyone is supposed to read text that small, but apparently people do it all the time. Dang kids.<\/span>. So the blog is getting a little wider, which will hopefully waste less screen space on the 3-meter jumobotron monitor you’re probably using. <\/p>\n Over the years I wasn’t diligent about documenting the appearance of the site. For the record, this is what the site looked like yesterday<\/a>. And for those of you reading this in the future, here is what it looked like after the change<\/a>.<\/p>\n Changing the theme is pretty disruptive.
