Second experiment can be seen at my solutions page, also with containers and variable CSS for each column.

And the third example is the news page with more variables for the fonts as well as for the columns displayed, accomplished with custom loops, a built in rss source (WordPress) and the flickr gallery.

Typography Tips

* Determine the image you want to project with your publication and choose fonts with personalities that will fit that image.
* Limit the number of typefaces you use in a publication. Many experts say to use a limit of two typefaces, but occasionally this will vary. Too many typefaces can create an unprofessional, jumbled image.
* Look at various publications for ideas about which typefaces work well together and the images they project.

* When using two typefaces, make sure they are very different. One typeface will probably be used for display type, such as headings, and the other for text. Strive for definite contrast between the two.
* When choosing only one typeface family, choose one with a lot of variations, so you will have some flexibility with your text design. The typeface Helvetica has many variations such as Helvetica Bold, Light, Regular, Condensed or Narrow, Outline, and Black.
* If you are unsure about which typeface to select, choose a common and reliable one such as Garamond, Palatino, Helvetica, Goudy, or Times Roman.
* When using a display type that has very strong characters (type that is bigger and bolder than regular type), use a typeface for text that looks more neutral. Very elaborate typefaces can be hard to read. Limit their use to only a few words and make sure the words are legible.
* All caps are harder to read than upper and lower case letters. Try to limit the use of all caps to two or three words. Some typefaces, such as Old English, are not designed to be used for all caps.
* Use bold and italic type for just a few words.
* Avoid setting large blocks of text in bold or italic type. Both styles are generally more difficult to read than regular type. A block of bold type tends to darken a page.

* Typeface weight will have a large impact on the color or darkness of your page. Thin lines will create a light and airy appearance, while thick lines will create a dark and heavy appearance. Weight can be very important to the image of a publication.
* Different typefaces take up different amounts of space. Some fonts are larger and take up more space per letter. This can greatly affect the length of a publication.
* The reader’s eye is attracted by white space. It gives the eye a rest and calls attention to what it surrounds.
* Break multi-line headings by phrase (where a spoken pause would occur). Place more white space above heading than below. This signals the reader that the heading goes with the text below it.
* Increase the spacing between lines or leading to create a lighter-looking page.

Looks like WordPress is/was completely ported to a Java based system via nTilePtoJ optimization algorithms, including type inference, transformation of dynamic constructs, object extraction and variable scope optimization..

Even more improving is on it’s way:

• improve the code quality and enforce sanity checks using static analysis tools (like PMD, FindBugs)
• in particular, find a better alternative to the current inherited framework for defining and applying filters (dynamic function invocations) – OSGi services or Equinox extension points come to mind
• start migrating relevant existing WordPress extensions
• …

Wonder how they apply the migrating of extensions, as all are working with php WP core codes,
however sounds like an interesting project.

Get it at SourceForge and try it out.

Tought of sharing my login pages for this site as well as for the showcase, arty and quite overboarding, but it reflects my style completely.

Even some other login pages to discover, I know of a flickr pool for login pages, quite a few nice examples, but couldn’t find the real gruop.

Water presoak. This is an optional precursor to development and is not necessary. Most roll films could take a thirty second rinse in water to aid in processing. This step will also help to prevent air bubbles from adhering to the film surface during development. Agitation should be continuous through this stage.

Launch of eZine vol4 with updated content, new images, last projects and more stuff to go.

Even some new videos like the McQueen / Dunaway chess scene from The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), one of my alltime favourites besides the BladeRunner movie.

Some stirs were up like Beta Label As Poor Excuse, 10 Downing Street WordPress Website Knock-off and Rip-off, Open Source, and is the site any good?, as well as some CSS references with no credits or payment included for the original author, followed by some “facts” of newmediamaze.

The site has BASIC accessibility errors and is riddled with invalid mark-up and it’s certainly not anywhere near acheiving a WCAG-aa pass (including manual checks).

That Accessibility page does nothing for the user other than repeat the usual “offer the basic facts regarding an initiative while failing to fully implement them with any understanding of the underlying principles – all likely of NO VALUE to the user or at best, offering what they already know (such as text resizing – oh dear!).
