You gotta read this book, it will change your life!

I have updated a few small things on this webpage. These are probably not very obvious. I am still fiddling on details, fighting with CSS and my Racket code.

The desire to make these changes came after, I happened upon Butterick’s Practical Typography.

Why did I not read this before? Like many miracles and appreciations in my life, typography comes late. I am happy that I discovered it.

Please bear with me while I experiment with different tweaks, and maybe updating some posts on this site. Here are the few I made recently.

• I re­moved un­der­lines from links. Let’s be hon­est: Matt is right on this one. To make links recog­nis­able in text, I added a lit­tle link sym­bol us­ing CSS and a hov­er re­sponse

• I re­moved the lit­tle icons from the text.

  They seemed like a good idea at the time, but are dis­tract­ing. They do not in­ter­act well with my link change above, and the fol­low­ing change

• I added a way for me to put punc­tu­a­tion in pre-de­fined links, like so.

  I no­ticed in Matt’s writ­ing that he puts punc­tu­a­tion be­fore the lit­tle link sym­bol. I very much think that is the cor­rect way.

Note that I am not claiming that everything is good with the site. It will likely never be. I made some improvements.
