A web site that I\u2019ve been visiting for years needed a quick update. So I talked the owner \u2013 we\u2019ve been virtual friends for decades \u2013 into letting me do a few tweaks to his site. It\u2019s a WordPress site, and he changed to a responsive theme that I recommended, but some minor visual tweaks were needed to make it more readable with better fonts and font sizing.<\/p>\n
He gave me admin access; I spent about an hour on some odds and ends. A bit of changing some options, plus a little custom CSS, and his site is a lot more readable. Looks good<\/a>, if I do say so myself. <\/p>\n In other news, it has been a bit hot lately here on the Olympic Peninsula. Now, \u2018hot\u2019 is relative here: temps above 80 are categorized by the locals as a \u2018heat wave\u2019. Many of the houses around here don\u2019t have air conditioning; many heat with wood stoves during the winter, so don\u2019t have any forced-air systems. Newer houses (like ours) generally have heat pumps: forced-air heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer. So temps today that got really close to 90 F were a bit uncomfortable for most.<\/p>\n We fared OK, though. We are a bit closer to the Puget Sound, which keeps us a few degrees cooler. And most of our windows face due east (which makes for really bright and early mornings), so afternoon heat transfer through the west side if minimal. So we didn\u2019t need to turn on the A\/C.<\/p>\n
