a note on the typography
Oct. 26th, 2025 07:28 pmPerhaps you noticed that my most recent previous journal entry,"not making excuses"( edelsont.dreamwidth.org/27509.html), is in a different font, compared to almost all the others before it, going back quite a ways. (Look at the "immediately" previous one, "Lies About the Weather, Nr. 731" (edelsont.dreamwidth.org/27354.html, to see the difference.)
Did you wonder why I made that change? Because it's easier to make them the newer way. If you just type your entry into the window provided by Dreamwidth, it comes out in the "newer" font, like in "not making excuses". That is apparently DW's default font. (Their composition "Rich Text" window allows you to adjust the font size, but not the actual type face.)
I was going through a pretty convoluted process to get them to come out the older way, to look like "Lies About the Weather." Recently I said to myself, "Self, maybe if you did them an easier way, you'd create journal entries more often."
Let's see if it turns out that way.
Something else about the more recent one, "not making excuses": the very content of that one was about why it's taking me so long to switch all my content over from my old computer to my newer one. Namely, because I was doing it "the hard way."
"Doing things the hard way" tends to be common practice with me. So I found it interesting that, in this case, I was breaking that pattern.
Could this become a trend?
