Site Point
If one aspect of design has suffered most in its transition to the Web, it is the art of typography. For years, Web typography involved little more than choosing a typeface and font size. Unstyled Times New Roman was the norm, and the integration of established typographical techniques and rules was unimagined.

Web Typography - The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web.
For too long typographic style and its accompanying attention to detail have been overlooked by website designers, particularly in body copy. In years gone by this could have been put down to the technology, but now the web has caught up. The advent of much improved browsers, text rendering and high resolution screens, combine to negate technology as an excuse.

Lorem Ipsum
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Shaun Inman
ShaunInman.com is in its eleventh incarnation; the previous design was the third in a series of experiments using color and saturation to suggest the age (and arguably, relative importance) of its content. Each day of the year was associated with a color. Winter began with a blue which Spring changed to green. Summer faded to yellow and turned an orange-red by Autumn. As time passed, these colors begin to fade. But time couldn’t pass fast enough during the low contrast summer months and the color simply drained away.
