			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I promised <a href="http://www.os-agnostic.com/" rel="met colleague">Karin Dalziel</a> some resources for doing web typography, and thought I&#8217;d just share it with a blog post. These are a few sites, blog posts, and articles I&#8217;ve found useful when learing about web typography; this is by no means a comprehensive list, and you&#8217;ll find that upon further exploration, there are plenty of debates when it comes to type for the web, especially with sizing type using CSS. (This post also reminds me that I need to clean up some of the type around this site!)</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/howtosizetextincss/">How to Size Text in CSS</a></strong> &ndash; Richard Rutter describes various approaches for sizing web type in pixels, ems, and percentages. Rutter pioneered the &#8220;<a href="http://clagnut.com/blog/348/">62.5% Method</a>&#8221; for sizing web type, which I still use.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/comments/five_simple_steps_to_better_typography/">Five Simple Steps to Better Typography</a></strong> &ndash; Mark Boulton&#8217;s great blog post series on how to make the type on your website better. Nice, illustrated examples, very accessible to non-designers.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://24ways.org/2006/compose-to-a-vertical-rhythm">Compose to a Vertical Rhythm</a></strong> &ndash; Helped establish the use of a baseline grid, or vertical rhythm, for web typography.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/settingtypeontheweb">Setting Type on the Web to a Baseline Grid</a></strong> &ndash; Wilson Miner shows you how to establish a baseline grid for your website, and how to make type of various sizes adhere to that grid. </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/font/index.html">Text Sizing</a></strong> &ndash; provides screenshots (lots of screenshots) of various browsers to compare text sizes. </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ilovetypography.com/">I Love Typography</a></strong> &ndash; Not just web typography, but type in general. Beautiful site, lots of good coverage of all things type. </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://informationarchitects.jp/the-web-is-all-about-typography-period/">Web Design is 95% Typography</a></strong> &ndash; Great article that discusses the enormous role typography plays in web design. </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.badassideas.com/blog/2008/11/23/typography-is-the-foundation-of-web-design/">Typography is the Foundation of Web Design</a></strong> &ndash; I couldn&#8217;t agree more with the title of this post. Samantha Warren discusses the process she uses for implementing great type solutions for the web in a presentation she gave at Refresh Baltimore.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.webtypography.net/">The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web</a></strong> &ndash; Great resource that takes Robert Bringhurst&#8217;s classic on typographic style and applies it to web design.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.speaking-in-styles.com/web-typography/Web-Safe-Fonts/">Web Safe Fonts</a></strong> &ndash; Great survey conducted by Jason Cranford Teague that details current web safe fonts and their presence on a variety of platforms and versions.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.typetester.org/">TypeTester</a></strong> &ndash; Lets you quickly and easily compare different typefaces and sizes, and generates CSS.</p>
<p>If you find any other useful resources, please share them!</p>
