"Interesting Nonsense" critique

Post by Nathaniel »

The Interesting Nonsense

I used to have a huge fanbase built around the Interesting Nonsense, but lost it when I spent a year trying to design the perfect CMS from scratch and there were no updates during that time (I learned a lot about programming, though). Anyway, I thought I'd spend the day building it up again, and this is what it evolved into.

I should pass XHTML/CSS/Section 508/WAI validation, with the exception of not having the lang attribute in the <html> tag for the 508... it caused the XHTML to not validate. I've tested in Firefox 1.5 RC1 and IE6. Does it look weird in any browsers you guys use?

I'm unsure of how the quotes are displayed, though. I showed it to one friend, and she thought it was readable, but I'm not as convinced that they are easy to read and tell where they start and end. What do you guys think?

I completely agree with that.. have some form of spacer or alternating bg color to distinguish the quotes..
