This blog was created for LIBS 602 with Dr. Sue Kimmel, for the Summer Semester 2015.
Notes on design:
- I chose the book template because it was perfect for a librarian.
- I disabled the mobile template for now because they are difficult to maintain separately.
- I made the column width a bit wider so the reader has less scrolling to do.
- The page background is a very pale blue and the text is black to provide good contrast for reading.
- I chose the title font "Crushed," because it is playful but not too girly or unsophisticated. I like the mixed case. The title is white because that was the most readable color on the blue header.
- My post texts are in a font called "Trebuchet." I originally chose "Arvo" because it is a nice, compact serif font. It is contemporary and interesting but also readable. Then, when I viewed the blog again a few days later I felt that the serif wasn't working. Trebuchet is a good substitute. I also bumped it up to 16 px. I guess I am feeling like I need reading glasses today!
