Today I noticed that the titles for a weblog post are sometimes hard to distinguish from the body of the post itself - making it easy for two posts to visually "mash" together.

I've always made the justification that "the comments/trackback (and tag thing) will be enough"... well, when I start to have trouble picking out posts (especially long, detailed, or ones with lots of outgoing links), then it's time to do something.

So I did. Post titles are now underlined and slightly indented. Hope you like.

Mozilla based browsers (like Firefox) allow the user to customize display of web pages through CSS.

For example, say you want all links to PDFs to be underlined, and say [PDF} at the end of the link. Here's how (on OS X):

1. Create ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/default.frm/chrome/userContent.css with the following CSS code:

   a[href$=".pdf"]:after { font-size: smaller; content: " [pdf]"; }

2. Restart your browser

Now any direct links to PDF files (should be) smaller, but will have [pdf] appended to the link.
