As a unix-nerd I actually find the barebones, technical look very appealing. It's almost googlesque.
I certainly like it better than the glossy competitors with their sneaky marketing-speak and buzzword bingo.
- cperciva 17y agoI actually find the barebones, technical look very appealing. It's almost googlesque. Thanks! The google-like "clean" style is very much what I was aiming for.
- tptacek 17y agoThen for gods sake ditch Times New Roman. You'd be 10x Googlier if you'd just switch from font-family: serif to font-family: Arial.
- moe 17y agoFun fact: He only specified serif for the headlines. Perhaps it's you who should ditch Times as your default font? You have a point, though, in that he should explicitly put 'sans' in his CSS for the 99% of the population who can't be bothered to change their browser default font.
- tptacek 17y agoIs IE's default Arial? Because his site looks nothing like Google in Firefox or Safari, and is, I believe, one CSS line away from fixing that.
- cperciva 17y agoI'm not sure exactly what IE's default is, but adding font-family: sans-serif to div.boxcontents makes the site look much better.
