Last night I stumbled across Dan Cederholm’s article, Use the Best Available Ampersand and, for whatever reason, it struck a chord with me. I knew immediately that I would have to follow Cederholm’s lead and add some ampersand loving to the Urban Mainframe.
In his article, Cederholm describes applying a CSS class to ampersands to apply a more attractive typeface to them. Great, but that means that I’d have to remember to use that class everytime I used the ampersand character and that’s more effort than I want to expend. So I decided to write a WordPress plugin to automate the process.
I've disabled caching in Safari and suddenly that browser is useful to me again.

Fortunately they are simple rules too. |
