About This Site
The primary motivation behind this site is experimentation. I'm interested in trying out new areas of web programming, and I use this site as a testbed for my ideas. I try to keep everything readable on all browsers, but not necessarily identical looking.
This site has a few oddities that differentiate it from the typical web site:
- CSS: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a W3C standard that are just beginning to see widespread use on the Internet. Their purpose is to separate content from presentation, in term of the HTML code that makes up the web page. Modern web browsers understand CSS and should have no problem with it, while older browsers only partially understand it. If some features don't work, or if the pages seem somewhat broken, then you have an older browser.
- Links: Links will change their background color when you hover over them. Links that have a tan colored background are links within my own site; links that have a purple background lead to outside web sites.
- Fonts: I have avoided specifying exact sizes and families on my fonts, which means that users have near-complete control over how the fonts look by changing their browser's preferences for serif and sans-serif fonts (which are used on headings and regular text, respectively).
