This site is set using Verdana, a sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter with hand-hinting done by Tom Rickner. Bearing similarities to typefaces such as Frutiger, Verdana was designed to be readable at small sizes on a computer screen. The lack of serifs, large x-height (heights of lower-case letters, as scaled to the letter x being exactly equal to one), wide proportions, loose letter-spacing, large counters (spaces inside partially enclosed portions of letters or symbols such as c, s, or curved quotation marks), and emphasized distinctions between similarly-shaped characters are chosen to increase legibility.
The site is powered by WordPress, a simple and elegant open source blogging and content management system written in PHP and MySQL. The theme for the site was developed by David Tames and is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. The theme is loosely based on the Seashore theme from WordPress Theme Shop. The site is hosted by pair networks.
If Verdana is not available on your system for some reason, the fall back typeface is the browser default serif typeface.
