Pixel-fitting by Dustin Curtis

It's all about pixels and how the edges of images are "parsed" by the display tools. In other words, when a vector image is rasterized the anti-aliasing can cause blurry edges. Humans can fix this. Hence a great discussion about relying on machines to rasterize vs. humans to rasterize. Great topic for webdesign students to discuss!

» Changing the WordPress Read More Text

Terrific tip to change the "more" text at the end of shortened text in your WordPress posts - and there are two ways. The first is to use code in your functions.php file to permanently customize that text. The other method is on a per-post basis - you can change "more" into a custom line of text for a single post without touching your functions.php file. Nice techniques!
