A macaroon is a type of small circular cake, typically made from ground almonds (the original main ingredient) or coconut (and/or other nuts or even potato), with sugar and egg white. Macaroons are often baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray. The word 'macaroon' comes from the Italian maccarone or maccherone meaning 'paste', referring to the original almond paste ingredient; this word itself derives from ammaccare, meaning to bruise.

Sir BJ ;)
I'm really struggling to understand a themes font coding. Not used to dealing with more than one or two.
I definitely need a taller screen so I can see bigger chunk at once.
I hate hard-cover jackets
I was reading this post and one of the pictures got me thinking about hard-cover books and how much I hate the dust jacket.
A quick Google of "I hate dust jackets" returned 101,000 results. So I am definitely not alone in this sentiment. A lot of people hate them and actually throw them away. I could never do that. I hate the plain hard cover even more than dust jackets. They're just so... boring.
Does this mean I hate hard covers all together? Not at all. I used to have a 70 year old Charles Dickens Anthology. It was lovely and in great condition. This is the reason for hard covers. Durability.
Dust covers are not durable
I don't want to shock you, but dust covers are fragile. It is a single piece of paper. To keep them in great condition, you have to treat them as such. This means handling them very carefully. Which kind of counters the usefulness of the durability of a hard cover.
Dust covers do not stay in place
This is the most annoying aspect of dust covers. When you are reading the book you can choose to put up with this, being careful with how you hold the book and sacrificing a bit of comfort.
Your other choice is to remove the jacket completely. However, he place you place it might put it in harm's way, since without the book, it becomes even more fragile.
The other problem with a loose jacket if the jacket is slightly low, you will damage it when placing the book back on the shelf.
Is there a solution?
To a degree. For people like me, the solution is to build the jacket design directly into the hard cover. I quite often see this in the non-fiction section and for hard cover release's of comic books.
I found a great example of this on flavorwire article against hard covers. The UK edition of the hard cover Harry Potter series has the design built into it.
These books have no dust jacket, just beautiful yet durable hard covers.
I hope publishers realise this and start making books more durable and less annoying for us readers.
Working on Tumblr Themes
Okay, so for the past week, I have really been putting a lot of effort into the Jennifer Fallon Fan blog.
Completely Redone theme based on the Pragmatist Theme. I chose this theme to work with, because I like the way it handles different screen sizes. I plan to make it look and feel more like a traditional website, rather that a tumblr page.
It has had a fair amount of reworking though, and when I am done that very little will be original.
The changes so far:
90% of the 'customise' options have been removed.
Background image cut down to 50kb
Completely new Twitter Widget that Completely integrates with the Page. (Will make this into it's own post, promise)
Moved published details underneath titles, including author info
Added More Social Sharing options using the AddThis
Gave Photo Posts Titles above the post, just like Text Posts. (Will make this into a post too)
Created brand new social icons using vectors (DrawPlus X5). My first experience with vectors too mostly following branding guidelines.
Made all the icons into CSS Sprites image to cut down http requests.
All icons, also have rollover versions
Made a new sidebar section to subscribe via tumblr / rss / email / pinterest / twitter
Added Like and reblog buttons to index and permalink pages
Learnt about Pinterest, Added a behind-the-scenes function to add invisible images as a pinterest option. (harder than you'd think)
Added a behind-the-scenes functionality to Text Posts to designate if an images is to float:left (word wrap)
Reworked the blockquote styles.
Still to Do
Rework the styles for post types that aren't text /photo posts.
Change the font for titles
Change link styles. I don't like the bg style, prefer the underline.
Rework the 'Read More' button
Change all post titles to h2, for better accessability
Add comment system (Probaby Livefyre)
