I spend a lot of time looking at this site. Statistically, you stop by once or twice a day, but I’m here all day, every day. On one hand, it’s really important to keep the site consistent, because nothing drives people crazy like change. On the other hand, every once in a while the monotony gets to me and I have to change SOMETHING.<\/p>\n

Guess what we’re doing today?<\/p>\n

Rationale:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rutskarn<\/a> is posting twice weekly now, and lots of people are missing the detail that some stuff is from me and some stuff is from him. So I need to make the author more prominent. This means adding author image and name and having it link to our respective Patreons.\n
  2. I need to make the footnotesWhich aren’t really footnotes because they don’t appear at the foot of the article but you know what I mean.<\/span> work better for mobile usersOr people on tablets, touchscreens, or using any other non-standard interface that makes precise selections difficult and small text unreadable.<\/span>. Specifically, the default footnote size is much too small and hard to selectOr if you’re me, IMPOSSIBLE. I can’t even use the mobile version of most sites on my phone. My fingers are too fat and opaque and so I’m always poking the wrong stuff.<\/span>, and the text itself is a little on the small size. So for mobiles, I’ve expanded the size of both the link and the text to match the size of the rest of the article text.\n
  3. I’m sick of the look of the site. So I want to change something, but I don’t want to cause trouble. Changing fonts is a good way of making things look fresh without moving everything around and causing chaos. I’ve been using the same fonts for almost half a decade now, and Google has greatly expanded their collection of fonts<\/a> since the last time I messed with them. <\/ol>\n

    So that’s what I’m doing \/ have done.<\/p>\n
