webtypography
=============
This is the source code for WebTypography.net, a practical guide to web typography which translates some aspects of The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst.
The site was initially [launched](http://clagnut.com/blog/1600/) in December 2005 by [Richard Rutter](http://clagnut.com/).
The markup still holds up but you might consider the CSS to be a bit... 2005. The site was built using a fluid layout so while it's not fully responsive (at the time of writing) it is pretty flexible.
## Requirements
The site runs on PHP and probably requires PHP 5 to be safe (although I suspect PHP 4 will work just fine too). That's all really. Just download the zip into a folder and set yourself up with a virtual host and you're away. If you want the webfonts to work, you'll need to use the domain "webtypography.dev" as your virtual hostname.
## Adding new items
The site builds upon the individual guidelines written in Bringhurst's book. To add a new guideline, you should add an entry in the PHP array in `/includes/data.inc.php` and then create an HTML file with the main content in the `/items` folder.
