css font sizes

Posted by Ashley on July 30, 2005

I adjusted the site design today to make the content column wider, so I can just link straight to my “medium” size photos in flickr. You can either get small (240w) or medium (500w), and i’ve decided that the small is too small. But I feel like a wider content column makes the line lengths too long for the font size, and (you know CSS) when it comes to font-size, you can either have tiny or enormous. The difference between x-small and small text is ridiculous. (Hey! kind of like the difference between small and medium thumbnails in flickr!) So you may have some quirky “features” over the next day or so while I try and find an acceptable solution. I liked the narrow content width, but I like nice-sized photos better.

UPDATE: I’m going with a larger line-height for ease-of-reading. I like it better already.
