My Solarized Blog

A simple blog with a simple theme.

First Post: Why Solarized?

I chose the Solarized Light theme for this blog because it's designed for comfort. The low contrast and specific color palette are meant to be easy on the eyes, reducing strain during long reading sessions.

The theme is built on a set of 16 colors, 8 monotones and 8 accent colors. This light background is #fdf6e3, and the red "border" you see is #dc322f, one of the accent colors.

It's a classic theme among programmers and writers for a reason!

Second Post: The Layout

This layout is created purely with HTML and CSS. The "border" is actually just the padding of the <body> element, which has the red background color.

The light-colored area is a single <main> element with its own background color and a border-radius to create the rounded-corner effect. It's a simple and effective way to frame content.
