HTML/CSS geekery

[shimotsuki]

So, I have just learned that even those of us with basic-level accounts can still play with CSS -- even behind the cut!

Ahem. Right. So, I will try to control my worst excesses, but I have taken this discovery as an opportunity to reformat my master fic index. If anyone feels like taking a peek, I was wondering how legible it is on other people's computers -- Is the font too tiny? Is the formatting doing anything weird? (If you could comment to this post instead of to the index, I can keep my formatting info obsessively organized...)

Much obliged, I'm sure.
(If your browser has the font installed, that last bit looks like Sirius's "handwriting"!)

Ooh, fancy :). Font looks good to me and I couldn't see anything weird.

Oh, and I did get your email, btw - hopefully I'll have time to reply tomorrow :).

Thanks for taking a look! It's always a real gamble what things are going to look like with different computers or browsers.

And, no worries ever on responding to e-mail. I'm hardly in a position to be looking for things on time, am I... :P (I recently mailed my mother's birthday present only a week late, which for me is amazingly prompt.)

Looks good to me too. Not too tiny, very neat font and, most importantly, all clearly readable! :)

Thanks for having a look! Readability is much more important than pretty fonts and colors, so I'm glad you found it readable. I'm still obsessing over which font I'm going to start using for actual fic posts, heh.

(I'm marking exams right now. THEY ARE NOT GOOD, and I am not pleased. I'd much rather play with my LJ formatting...)

My old Economics teacher used to mark exams by tossing them up his stairs and seeing how far they went. The ones that went the furthest got the best marks - he theorised the heavy ones were most likely to be the best, lol.

LOL. I guess it doesn't hurt to encourage verbosity if you aren't actually going to read the exam papers.

I've threatened the dartboard method before -- whatever the dart hits is the score assigned.

But seriously, these are my advanced students, and they sounded like they knew what was going on in class discussions, so I'm both frustrated and also worried about what went wrong on this exam (did I miscommunicate my expectations? I don't think so, but...)
