Please don't take this wrong way, but: GAAAH my eyes!

The text is way too big, the margins way too wide, and the letters way too run-together.

(Readability ftw!)



No no, I won't. I tried optimizing the blog for the iPad a few weeks back. It works great there, but it's not the best for the actual computer. I'm going to scrap the current design and go with something fresher now that I'm writing more often. The iPad formatting? More on that later...


Thanks for your reply. Can't you detect if it's an iPad and use a different stylesheet or is that not possible? (don't know - I'm a mac user, but I'm not sold on the iPad).


You can certainly detect the user agent. Working on something a bit more in-depth than that though :).

I'd say go for it, but it really depends person to person. It's not perfect for everyone.


There are CSS expressions to use to send certain rules to ipads; no user-agent sniffing required.


> letters way too run-together

Keming!


For those downvoting: it's a joke :D kerning == the way characters are drawn/rendered with their ligatures, etc, if badly kerned ------> keming.
