For the record the blog you’re viewing is based on the open source WordPress<\/a> content management system, which is widely used for blogs but also has broad, general web site capabilities.\u00a0WordPress enables easy customization through add-on themes, hundreds of which have been created by the community and shared freely across WordPress sites. \u00a0I’m using the ‘Admired<\/a>‘ theme by Brad Thomas with its Orange skin, plus some minor modifications by me to better match the rest of orangemoose.com and suit my personal tastes.<\/p>\n

Most of the content is rendered using the open source ‘PT Sans’ font by ParaType, available through Google Fonts<\/a>. \u00a0The page headline, footer content and some other random bits use the open source ‘Mountains of Christmas’ font by Tart Workshop, also available through Google Fonts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where I need to embed source code in a post or page I’m using the ‘SyntaxHighlighter Evolved<\/a>‘ plug-in for WordPress, based on a nifty JavaScript package by Alex Gorbatchev that can also be used separately in web applications and content beyond WordPress.<\/p>\n
