		<description><![CDATA[I found a good website that I can use to compare fonts.
Even better, Typetester website allows me to download the CSS!  

There are three different sections to display different font formats including size, alignment, color, background color (among other settings).
Once you have selected the formatting, scrolling down will reveal the fonts in various styles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on integrating AJAX into my project. It wasn&#8217;t easy, but I got the data to load dynamically.

I found a really cool website [...]]]></description>

I just notice that Rails does not make the &#8216;Reset&#8217; button available. Here is an example of an HTML form with a reset button:

It is not a long document but it is a dense one and contains good guidelines. For example, &#8220;Don&#8217;t rely on color alone.&#8221;
It is worth an hour (or more) of your time if you are into web design and usability.

I&#8217;m planning of improving my theme a little bit at a time with various techniques that I observe and learn from other websites and books.
I&#8217;m beginning to enjoy web design now.
