@philbowell Wow, that is some beautiful typography.

@JohnBrady Oh my. Now I want to re-watch it too, with my kids. I do remember the original Shop Around the Corner fondly, running on repeat on TNT.

@BonnieRue Thank you! As luck would have it I got actual frost on my windshield this morning. So it goes…

@lukemperez Thank you, Luke! Choosing the font was the most difficult part, implementing was easy:

• Step 1: Upload the .woff (or .woff2) versions of the font to micro.blog’s Upload section
• Step 2: Added a dedicated section for each font variant, for example:

@font-face {
font-family: CooperHewitt;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
font-stretch: normal;
src: url('https://blog.miljko.org/uploads/2025/cooperhewitt-bold.woff') format('woff');
}

• Step 3: Remove the Google Font cruft (the best part!)

@ReaderJohn Thank you! For what it’s worth, the new look is in. Very much like the old look but with better contrast.

@dwalbert @JohnBrady I am a complete amateur in CSS and never touched WP so while I can appreciate good typography my own blog is far from it. Whatever Butterick used to type set his websites I’d love to be able to use it as well, but there are only so many hours in the day…

@JohnBrady Indeed. The presumption back then was that America was a country of literate farmers. The presumption now is that it is a country of illiterate middle managers. Progress!

@JohnBrady Hah, very much so. The spirit hasn’t changed in 100 years, apparently.

@jabel Oh, this is going into the list, thank you for sharing!

@news @help A great feature, thank you for implementing! Any idea why the “about” field won’t show up in this blogroll? As instructed here, I used

{{< blogroll name="Blogroll Name" show_about="true" >}}
