Fix spacing on meta info #35

Closed mkgold closed 11 years ago

mkgold commented 11 years ago

The line-height on the meta information (who made a post/when/etc) and the snippet of the post are very different. Some room might be saved by reducing the meta info line height. See line-height.png.

I don't think this is necessarily a bug. The two different sections are different kinds of information (meta information vs user content), so it makes sense to present it differently. That said, if Bowe has some nice thoughts about how this might be improved, I think it's worth seeing something (especially since this one is not directly editable from the Infinity admin panel).

Another Chris issue. Is there a way for us to tag and/or flag the issue so that we can bring it to his attention when we get him on here?

I agree that it makes sense to present the two different types of information differently but I don't think the line-height is the way to do it. There is already some difference because the meta info is in grey and the text is a bit smaller. That may be enough. I'm not requesting a vertical rhythm (http://24ways.org/2006/compose-to-a-vertical-rhythm/) although that would be cool, but at least reducing the line-height.

If you have time and want to reimagine it then that's cool. I have a couple of images that illustrate the point but I'm not sure what the preferred way is to add them in. Bowe, I'm not dead set on this and would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for the clear example Chris.. I've used your Clarify page to make some changes that should make it look better. For now it's just line height and font size but I have some sweet ideas for the future where it would show an icon or color variation depending on the type of activity. That would you can instantly see what type of entry it is.

Those ideas sound good, looking forward to seeing them.
