Published at Sitepoint (typography article)

A few of you have already noticed a handsome new author over at Sitepoint.com. I wonder who he is … Anyhow, read his/my peice Rich Punctuation: How To Do It And Why You Should Bother.

I do, as always, love your feedback.

Today’s web publishing technology has come a long way from its US ASCII origins—these days, the typographic punctuation enjoyed for over four centuries by its venerable print publishing cousin is fully supported for use in our web documents.

Beautiful typography does require some additional configuration on the server side and a bit more attention by the document author—but in this article, I hope to convince you that it’s time well spent. Rich punctuation is a tool that, when used properly, will make your web site’s text come alive!

…and it continues for two whole pages. Hehe. (Digg it!)

I learned a lot from your article. I felt that some parts where missing here and there, but I guess that is just due to editing or something.

Just curious, what did you get for this article from Sitepoint?
