Blogging's cardinal sins

Christian Crumlish

Recently, a commenter noted that the links here at RFB are hard to see for some people, meaning they're less accessible than they should be. (The commenter kindly directed us to Dive into Accessibility.) I value feedback like that and will tackle it if need be, but since we will be rolling out a new design soon, thanks to Liza, I'm hoping that won't be necessary.

Still, anyone with a blog would benefit from studying these , Cardinal Sins of Blogging from Quantum Tea (found via cre8d's Blog Design Showcase Archives, which is itself a fount of inspiring examples of tasty blog design).

Turns out they... (Miscellany)
