Here’s the blog: http://thefreshstandard.tumblr.com
I made the comment count at the end of every post a larger font than the rest of the line. When I did that, the alignment went wacky, as you can see. How do I get the larger-font comment count to line up with the baseline of the rest of the text on that line (post time, tags)?
I only know very basic stuff with code, so some help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
January 6, 2012 at 7:31 pm #94159chrisburtonParticipantYou need to set a line-height.
January 6, 2012 at 7:32 pm #94161jattheyMemberHow do I do that? (Sorry, like I said, I’m a beginner).
January 6, 2012 at 7:39 pm #94163chrisburtonParticipantActually, what I would do is make the font smaller on “0 Comments”. It seems odd being that large paired with the others.
January 6, 2012 at 7:48 pm #94165jattheyMemberI know what you mean. But I’m trying to make the comments stand out from the rest of the line more, so that the eye will be drawn to it—I’m going to make commenting a big part of the blog. Is there a better way to do that?
It definitely looks weird right now because of the alignment. So I want to at least try the line-height thing. How do I do that in html? Is that only CSS?
January 6, 2012 at 8:02 pm #94170chrisburtonParticipantDoing what you’re suggesting will just make it stand out because it doesn’t look right, not for the purpose you’re trying to achieve. But if that is what you want, try adding line-height to the meta class.
.meta li {line-height: 15px;}
January 6, 2012 at 8:04 pm #94172jattheyMemberAnything else you would suggest to make it stand out?
By the way @ChristopherBurton, thanks for helping me with both these questions.
January 6, 2012 at 8:12 pm #94174jattheyMemberI made it colored instead of bigger, is that better?
January 6, 2012 at 8:13 pm #94176chrisburtonParticipantI think changing the color looks better.
January 6, 2012 at 8:16 pm #94178jattheyMemberSo do I. Thanks man
January 6, 2012 at 8:23 pm #94181chrisburtonParticipantI had my screen tinted so I think andy’s suggestion is correct in making the yellow of your site darker. However, I’m not sure I am a fan of the color palette you have chosen in general.
January 6, 2012 at 8:24 pm #94183jattheyMemberYeah, still working with the colors. I’ve never been sure of the yellow. You have any suggestions, let me know
January 6, 2012 at 8:25 pm #94184chrisburtonParticipantI love yellow in design but it has to fit the color palette.
January 6, 2012 at 8:31 pm #94188jattheyMemberGot the palette from http://kuler.adobe.com/ (not that that makes it from a professional). What would you guys do with the rest of the colors?
January 6, 2012 at 8:45 pm #94192jattheyMemberChanged it, what do you think?
Only problem is I can’t figure out how to change the hover color yet so it’s still yellow.
