Since I am trying to make my blog into a serious site [1]_ I decided to take a serious look into web typography. It should be useful if BartleBlog ever gets a second user (which is not precisely coming soon ;-)

Specially since `this link`_ appeared in `Ned Batchelder's blog`_.

Right now, I am into basic things, like vertical rythm and such, but you can already see a difference:

Now, let's go into more `serious material`_ to read on the subject.

.. [1] as in "excessive or impressive in quality, quantity, extent, or degree", not "not joking or trifling". This site is all about trifling.
