I think it’s important to publish what you learn. There’s really no school for front-end development. You can’t go to a university for a JavaScript degree or a class about how browsers work. Most of us learn from blogs and Twitter. Early in my career, I learned a bunch of things whenever I worked on a project, but I never told other people about them. So my general advice is to publish what you learn, share with the community, and collaborate on projects that help move the community forward.

Smashing Magazine: 16 Pixels: For Body Copy. Anything Less Is A Costly Mistake
october 2011 by matthewmcvickar
‘There are some particular findings that are pivotal to issues such as readership and readability and comprehension, which is really what body copy is all about. If people won’t read it, or if they can’t read it or understand it, then what’s the point of having it?’

‘This is a simple trick to overlay a grid or a mock-up over a page you're styling. It will also allow you to edit content directly in the browser to see how your layout behaves depending on various lines of text.’

Google Code: The Golden Grid
february 2009 by matthewmcvickar
This may be worth looking into. I waffle on whether this sort of thing is ultimately a good decision — you're relying on someone else's framework, it takes a while to learn and master, and once you decide to go with it you're essentially stuck with it. But isn't that the case with any pseudo-framework developed for a website design? I should test this on a little project.

GitHub: Cufón
february 2009 by matthewmcvickar
This could be good. "Cufón aims to become a worthy alternative to sIFR, which despite its merits still remains painfully tricky to set up and use. To achieve this ambitious goal the following requirements were set: No plug-ins required; it has work on every major browser on the market; no or near-zero configuration needed for standard use cases; it has to be fast, even for sufficiently large amounts of text. And now, after nearly a year of planning and research we believe that these requirements have been met."
