Hi, since several years I have been planed to launch a personal website. I used to do quite aesthetical web design before I have subscribed to minimalism. What annoyed me then and now was CSS and its implementations in modern browsers.
When I tried to design a minimalist website (just some typographic enhancements to make texts more read- and printable), I realised that there seems to be no agreed standard for a default CSS stylesheet merely a recommendation from the CSS standard [1] (which is incomplete) and a lot of people seem to be concerned about resetting the browser CSS defaults - even the W3C does so in their stylesheets [2]. Most people seems to have installed nearly all popular browsers, test with those and incorporate workarounds if necessary. All in all this seems very absurd to me and I would like to know how you approached this problem. At the moment I'm just aware of The Anti-web Manifesto [3] that someone linked to on this mailing list. Although I mainly subscribe to it, browsers like Mozilla Firefox have terrible default typographic style and using text-mode browsers like links often seems to be only solution when reading longer texts. Any ideas? Regards, Matthias-Christian [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/sample.html [2] http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/Steely [3] http://port70.net/webless/antiweb.html
