About the typography

Google “paragraph spacing +Blogger” and you’ll find a million people wanting to know why their posts look like they were typeset by the demented harpy who once haunted the prepress department of a certain Florida weekly that will remain unnamed.

Too much space between paragraphs. No indenting. Too little. Too much. Do what you will, it still looks amateurish. Try to code the HTML and lose all the formatting when you save it. Look at the Preview, and it’s totally different than the view when published.

Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But I am going to migrate over to Google Chrome and see if working in a different browser makes any difference.

Until then, just pretend you’re reading a carelessly typeset weekly newspaper in a peaceful little Florida fishing village.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
