I've recently spent some time freshening up our blog with the intention of improving readability and opening up the flow of text so that a reader may more effectivly scan through the information in posts.
Additionally, beneath these broader strokes, I've also introduced progressive enhancement onto the visual style through new style rules introduced in CSS3 and supported in Safari and Firefox.
CSS3? Progressive Enhancement?
So, yeah, for the reader who isn't a giant nerd CSS is a stylesheet language that allows a web designer to do things such as select elements within a web page and write rules that affect their layout and visual appearance, i.e. the size and colour of type, or the size of a button. The most common browsers in use today implement the CSS2.1 specification. The CSS3 spec. on the other hand is all new and as I speak is still being developed within the W3 Consortium. Regardless, some browser vendors have already steamed ahead and built-in support for certain parts of the CSS3 spec. This is where Progresive Enhancement comes in, a concept that suggests that designers and developers may enhance their standards-based work with new technology as or before it becomes available in the knowledge that as more users adopt supporting devices and browsers in the future they'll recieve and enjoy a 'free uprade' when they see and experience enhanced features.
