Typesetting Paragraphs on Web Pages
I don’t know who started it, but at some point in the web’s relatively short history, we decided that paragraphs displayed on web pages should be “typeset” in a manner similar to what we see by default in a Microsoft Word document: an empty line after a paragraph, and no indent for each paragraph.
Somehow it was unanimously settled upon that the traditional manner of typesetting paragraphs — with indents and no spaces between paragraphs — is not as readable on a computer screen.

For a while now I’ve been wanting to set aside some time to do some sort of web development parody. I’ve done this sort of thing before and it’s fun to see people’s reactions.
As always, my collection of recently discovered links, tools, resources and libraries keeps growing.
About a week or so ago, I stumbled across the Startups, This Is How Design Works website. It’s a one-page site that uses a fixed drop-down menu at the top of the screen that collapses/expands in a “table of contents” style.
In March I wrote about some of my least favourite parts of CSS. Admittedly, that was a pretty negative post, and I’ve even slightly changed my opinion of a few of those things, thanks to the comments.
