This website runs on WordPress and uses the excellent Memoir theme by Jake Caputo of DesignCrumbs.
I have made the following modifications to the theme:
- Reduced blockquote font size to 18px and eliminated the little dot at the top of the vertical insert
- Edited the dropdown boxes in the widgets (.postform) to make them match the theme better
- Reduced the space between posts
- Changed the spacing between the post title and first paragraph and eliminated the byline
- Tweaked margins around the images
- Added styling for superscript so that it doesn’t create a gap between it and the line above [ sup { vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; } ]
Plugins being used (outside of the normal set):
- Social Login – Allows login using social network credentials
- Brankic Twitter Widget – Shows recent tweets in footer
- WP-Footnotes – Easy creation of footnotes in posts. I was using Civil Footnotes but it’s basically a clone of WP-F tweaked to look like daringfireball.com’s footnotes, minus the admin panel. I tweaked WP-Footnotes to add a tooltip on the backlink arrow, inserted a horizontal rule, and padded the space between the bottom of the post and the horizontal rule.
