Readability Improvement

Updated the stylesheet for the blog today to increase readability:

  • Decreased the size of the header, which used valuable screen real estate, from 220 pixels to 70 pixels. In terms of screen size, it decreased from 1/3rd of the screen height down to 1/9th.
  • Increased the width from 750 to 960 pixels (all of that increase went into making the content column wider).
  • Increased the font size by a few percent, and reduced the line height a bit.
  • Restored sane colors for the links (blue by default, orange when visited).
  • Corrected some silly rules (such as strong text using a different font, code being larger than the rest of the line, and the extreme line height in pre blocks).

Hopefully, it should be easier to read.

    Looks good, though your links are all orange for me (chrome).
