The greatest undertaking involved in setting up a new site isn’t picking up new technologies. This blog system set itself up, for the most part. Now that I’m starting fresh, I’m tossing all my bad coding habits out the window. <center> tags, gone! <blockquote>? Died with the dinosaurs. As for <b> and <i>, I’m taking those with me to the grave. That one indulgence aside, everything will operate under CSS. It probably won’t mean much to the average reader. People who have read (and seriously overanalysed) my blog for years might have noticed my inability to format consistently. When I quoted text, I tried all sorts of crazy fonts, backgrounds, and tables, and never reached a conclusive HTML combo that screams ‘Yay! I’m a quotation!’
No more. From the first time you see quoted text or code here, it will not just stand out as quoted text, it will scream that text in your ear with a megaphone.
Fascinated by petty HTML musings? Yuh-huh, I thought not. Better things next time.
