2003 Archives
2003 was a big year for mezzoblue. Many stumbled across it when a little side project launched, but the frequent updates kept ’em coming back. Lots of experimenting and exploring occured while we were all trying to figure out just what could you do with this CSS stuff anyway?
Noteworthy posts include “It’s time we take back Times New Roman on the web”, “HTML and Foreign Languages”, “Colour Bland: Value” and “Colour Bland: Contrast”, and “Plugging the RSS Usability Hole”.
Early on in the year, this site got a fresh image-heavy design called Radar. Then it got re-coded.
