I updated the style for <code> elements in the Web Cave Theme so that they pop a bit more. Enhanced Readability It was too hard to distinguish code blocks from regular text before. They were just white text on black like the rest of the post content. Now they have the strawberry color scheme that […]
Read MoreI decided to run through the Web Cave theme files and spruce a few things up. ADA Compliance Improvements I realized the images in the project posts and grid loop were missing alt text.
