Now with a different style

It has been almost six years since I did much to the design of this place, and I figured it was time to pay a little attention to it. Nothing major, just some tweaks to the colors, finally applying a little more style to the forms, and generally just cleaning things up. I will keep tweaking things. I have an SVG version of the “Barrel of Monkeys” monkey that I want to incorporate into the logo but I want to try and simplify it and get it down to a size where I am okay with putting it inline into the HTML.

I am using CSS nesting for the form styles which should be okay with recent browsers. Everything should degrade pretty sensibly, or maybe abruptly. It is great that the state of the art for CSS is advancing fairly quickly again and it is possible to do fun stuff without having to adopt big frameworks or tools that require a build step.

I used Adobe’s (free) Color Contrast Analyzer to pick the colors and (try to) make sure they were accessible.

Not sure what’s next, but dark mode is on the list somewhere.
