We’ve updated our site. The look is much more reflective of the values we have at Hacked: Code, Death Metal, and Horror. We’ve done a few things to keep the new design both appealing and usable. The combined focus of pretty (kinda) and readable will make all of you cower in fear.

We’ve implemented the famous sIFR technique to display headings in non-standard web fonts. Windows, Mac, and Linux do very few things the same way. The one thing they all do the same though, is render Serif, Sans-Serif, and monospaced fonts the same. While we’ve gone with a monospaced font for the content of this site (a homage to coders everywhere), it was our feeling that the headings should be much different. Keeping with the grungy theme of the vertical logo, we used the same font for the h2 and h3 headings.

We’ve also kept the base font-size at the default level. There’s a great article about this here, with a lot of reasoning for not altering the base font size. The takeaway for us: most screens aren’t that small anymore and small text is just too hard to read.

So, we’re all new. We hope you like it. You’d better …
