Another design goal: this site looks great on paper. It doesn’t need a separate printer-friendly page, because it uses a media=”print” cascading stylesheet that specifies how the printed version should look. The printed version only includes this main text; the navigation bar along the left and top are omitted. The font is changed to Arial (or Helvetica), which is easier to read on a printed page. Links are not underlined, and are not blue. Permalinks (those little “#” marks at the end of each entry) are not printed. The images that make up the nice curve on the main page are removed. It’s not magic; it’s only CSS.
