Advanced options for writing
If you know basic HTML then there are a lot of extras you can use to enhance your posts. The good news is even if you don’t know HTML they aren’t hard to learn.

A chat about responsive design
Tumblrer: Is Courier optimized for different devices.
Me: Yes! In fact the entire design is "responsive."
Tumblrer: What do you mean by responsive?
Me: By responsive I mean the design and content adheres to a fluid grid that expands and contracts to the specific width of each user's viewport.
Tumblrer: But what about really small screens – like an iPhone – won't the layout be really cramped?
Me: I have augmented the fluid grid with media queries that rearrange the content at specific breakpoints; all while maintaining the fluid grid. So the content and layout are optimized for mobile screens, tablets (like the iPad or Galaxy) and all sorts of monitor widths.
Tumblrer: That's fantastic! But what about Internet Explorer?
Me: Since IE doesn't support media queries I am using adapt.js to accomplish the same tasks with JavaScript.

This is a premium theme that is being built by Design Intellection. For the rest of this post I’m going to just post filler content. Slowly but surely I will begin to build out the other post types and subsequently the rest of the theme. Origins The Courier-Journal was created from the merger of several newspapers introduced in Kentucky in the 1800s. Pioneer paper The Focus of Politics,...
