Web Typography Sucks

This was a good panel. Boulton and Rutter provided some good examples of how to improve online typography, addressing issues of typeface selection, creating vertical rhythm by establishing a relative line-height, and proper margins for lists (see above). These are great suggestions for me to incorporate with my Advanced students, subtle changes that will immediately improve the look of their sites.
