Semisweetie, my geeky recipe and baking blog needed a refresh once I got an awesome avatar created by Pigeon and Tonic (Etsy). Some changes were made to the grid, and the color scheme was updated to reflect the tones from the picture.
The recipe section also got a revamp, with dividing lines above and below it and a more heavily bolded link style. I was finding that too many commenters were missing the link to the original recipe. Baking blogs typically copy and paste the original recipe into the new post, and give little credit to the original poster – I’m trying to send more traffic to the original recipe so that person gets more credit. But it’s hard to change blog readers’ habits of reading the post for the recipe; they seem to still skip over the link!
Chrome does a weird thing sometimes with @font-face (I’ve only seen it on Windows) where it puts strange characters in for spaces. I’ve had this happen with the @font-face packages from Font Squirrel. To fix it, I’ve just re-uploaded the TTF or OTF file and had it generate a new @font-face package, and the issue goes away. Strange, right? Anyway, this redesign included a regeneration of the two fonts used.
