Blog layout #24

Closed yuinchien closed 5 years ago

yuinchien commented 5 years ago

Use Roboto Mono for code snippets
Moved CSS for section-title & description in polymer-project.org to main.css so that other sites can reuse the same type styles
Highlight author profile at the top of the blog post and hide author name to simplify information
Improve blog post layout design & readability by setting max-width to blog post content and center content
Increase body text size to 18px to improve blog post readability
Instead of having table of content (which is uncommon in blog post), use type scale to create clearer information hierarchy

Removing the author name feels really weird to me. Currently, some of the profile links just go to weird places that don't help you identify the author.

In particular, the profile links currently always go to G+. Many people's G+ pages are moribund, and if the author doesn't have a G+ profile listed, it just... dumps you into G+ with no explanation.

If we're going to cut names from the posts, we should create a profile page with info from the metadata, or something.

Other that that concern, layout looks really nice. There are a few places where we inset demos or videos that are shifted to the left in the new layout. For example, see: 2017-08-23-hands-on-30-preview

I'm guessing we'll need to wrap these somehow?

New pushed changes:

Move h tag styling to theme.css & remove duplicated styling
Increase list left padding for better content formatting
Center iframe in blog post
Remove code snippet horizontal offset for consistency
Change blog post body text size to 16px for consistency across sites

@arthurevans G+ is obsolete, would link to author's twitter page be more relevant? I am guessing all authors including Polymer team have twitter account. If so, i think the author profile would link to consistent destination. Do you think we can do without author name in this case?

arthurevans commented 5 years ago

I think if we change to twitter instead of g+ for author links in the short term it's probably OK. Since we used to have both web and g+ links on the page, I think I should update the server to define a profile url (web address if specified, otherwise twitter).

As for not including the name, I'm OK with it if everyone else is... @graynorton @justinfagnani Ferris?
