The pos­si­bil­ity of truly excel­lent typog­ra­phy on the web, a la that beau­ti­ful book The Elements of Typographic Style, has been a real­ity for the last cou­ple of years. Check out the MP3 of Jeff Croft’s pre­sen­ta­tion, Typography — Beyond the Font at last year’s Webmaster Jam Session, and fol­low along with the slides, to learn from some­one who really knows his stuff. Well worth the listen.

   I wish there were an RSS feed that only told us about new MP3s and such from all Web Directions con­fer­ences. Perhaps some­thing on iTunes?

   Joe — we’re about to (as in, this week­end) reha­bil­i­tate our pod­cast, renam­ing it Web Directions Podcast, but keep­ing it at the old loca­tion. We’ll be pub­lish­ing all the MP3s from each of our events here, start­ing with those from Web Directions North. That’s what you mean right?
   At the same time, each time some­thing gets added to the pod­cast, I’m also going to cre­ate a resource post for it here — like this one — so all the slides as well as the MP3 can be accessed in one place.
   I know what you mean, I guess we could have a feed just for Resources. One prob­lem with that approach might be though that the resources don’t come out in a steady stream, but rather in a burst at some stage after any event — so this feed would become stale and be deleted by a lot of peo­ple in those fal­low months?
