…that previous post is an example of why fixed-pixel sized layouts are a fucking stupid idea.
Just Don’t Do It.
Learn to use the dynamic reflowing nature of HTML. A web page is NOT a static paper page – you don’t know how big or small the viewing device is going to be.
I should’ve been able to increase the width of the column to allow for the long code lines, but no – fixed pixel size and images meant that doing so makes it look like crap. Then I found another theme to use – one that looks really nice. The code didn’t wrap in that theme, but you needed a magnifying glass to read the page. “No problem!” I thought, I’ll just increase the text size. Nope, WRONG. Bitten by px again.
So this is a plea to all designers and would be designers from those of us who lack the design ability, but want to be able to use your creations.
Please make your templates appropriate for a WEB page, not a piece of paper
If it breaks when I increase the font size by only one or two levels, then your design Does Not Work.
