First, here’s the beta version. I’d say the most annoying part is the huge score, despite it being generally irrelevant. In a list-style page like Reddit, being on the front page is indicator enough for an article’s quality, without us having to know its score. And mackstann sums it up for me:
..by making the “score” larger and bold and outside of the rest of the text. In my opinion, people shouldn’t need to care much about the score of a link. If the algorithm is good then the numeric score is irrelevant…

Here’s Eric Meyer’s discovery on the issue. The intrinsic value of “normal” for different font faces on different browsers, it turns out, is totally wacky. The moral of the story is to simply avoid using it for any precision, cross-browsers compatible work. Which is all the time, I should say.

This blog was supposed to be many things: design, code, and a bit of WordPress love. Recently, though, the content I wrote tend to gravitate to the latter; not that it’s something bad, I do love talking about WP. I just think that, hey, maybe it’d be a good idea to grow that interest into its own blog.
And so, WPLover is born.
Having a goal of providing “bite-sized WordPress news, and then some”, I hope I could grow that blog as well as this one. Managing multiple blogs is hard, so I cheated a bit by keeping in mind that WPLover will mostly contain snippet of news update instead of fully-blown article every time.
From now on, this blog will focus more on web design and code, so stay tuned for more articles on that area.
Oh, and thank you very much for reading. No, honestly.
