Several changes to the visual design of the site have recently bubbled up to the top of the queue. For several related-but-not-interesting reasons, we have decided to package all of these together into a single June Refresh. The refresh will go live sometime this week, after a few last things are ironed out. Expect to see:

• A new, slightly prettier jumpbar (that horizontal bar immediately below the content of each article, with "previous" and "next" links)
• A new version of the logo. It will still be a logotype, but we are changing fonts (and some other details) to improve readability at small sizes, which is currently terrible.
• Speaking of fonts, the page fonts are all changing from Verdana to Arial. Exciting stuff.
• Various back-end changes that you don't care about.

There will also be adjustments to 10blog's CSS and logo (it will finally have its own unique logo), and several minor changes.

Long-time readers may remember that this is not the first June refresh that we've done; the more notable one (in 2006) was when the site took on the name 10stripe.
