A word on justified text.
Is there really such a peeve as “rivers”, and if so, you don’t think these random patterns are cool? I kind of do, myself. I think also, that this “problem” started to have attention called to it, and that got people fussing, where they would not have fussed before. To my eye, ragtails at the end of every line look worse. Besides which, we don’t speak or read robotically, so varying word spacing is actually a reflection of real speech rhythms. One more thing, getting rid of egregious gaps (two spaces is fine), is just a mathematical puzzle to solve, and can be solved in several ways: font family, font size, different use of punctuation, different word order or choice…change the size of your image… It’s not such a bad thing to exercise your mind this way!

 

 

Mad linking!

 

Now all posts that feature 1-5 pages of a story will have a link to the page and next section; so again, the reader can follow through the complete text, as with any normal reading experience. TOC links will take you down the page, but most links open a new tab. That’s because sometimes page loading can be slow, and sometimes your browser gets caught doing two things at once, and backspacing doesn’t get you out of it…and then you’re stuck, unable to see the link, unable to go back to reading. So I try to keep my readers from experiencing this.

 

 

Poems matched tidily to images!

 

Visit the post on the blog, and you will see a sleeker presentation, single-spaced, stanzas separated.
