# About This Website ## The How This site is maintained using [[Obsidian]], and published via their extra [[Obsidian Publish]] feature. ## The Look & Feel Originally, I was using a modified version of the [Minimal Publish Theme](https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal-publish) made by [kepano](https://stephango.com/about), and I used the color scheme [Flexoki](https://stephango.com/flexoki), which is also made by kepano, but I have since opted for a cleaner white/black look with a much simpler overall theme. Let me know ([[Contact Me]]) if you're interested in the CSS for the overall theme or even just some snippets for certain elements! ## The Fonts I can't be bothered to stick to a single font for long, so depending on my mood, you'll probably be reading this in a typeface like one of the following. These are easily imported via CSS: - [Merriweather](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Merriweather) - [Atkinson Hyperlegible](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Atkinson+Hyperlegible+Next) - [Figtree](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Figtree) - [Roboto](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto) - [Radio Canada](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Radio+Canada) These require a bit more legwork but are also possible to get working in Obsidian Publish: - [iA Writer Duo](https://github.com/iaolo/iA-Fonts/tree/master/iA%20Writer%20Duo) - [Heliotrope](https://practicaltypography.com/heliotrope.html) - For the weight variants, I like Heliotrope 3 or 4 See [[Custom Fonts With Obsidian Publish]] for information on how I got some of the fonts working. I tend to change things up frequently, so hopefully this isn't already out of date by the time you're reading this! ## The Why Obsidian makes it a breeze to read, write, and edit content in [[Markdown]] format. I write quite a bit as a hobby in my spare time, so using the tooling built directly into the application is extremely convenient. ## The Past One of the original designs for this website was more archaic in (and by) design. I'm still fond of older styles of UIs in operating systems and software, so I feel like it's fun to bring it back sometimes. This Windows 98 style was based on an existing project that can be [found here](https://jdan.github.io/98.css/). ![[old_site_design.png]] #obsidian #fonts #css
