Trebuchet

I'm sick of seeing the font Trebuchet MS in blog headings, and especially in blog homepage titles. A blog with its title in Trebuchet inside a rectangle with rounded corners looks cool to someone seeing that template for the first time only. Overuse of Trebuchet often goes along with blogs that have only two entries: one from 2005 that says "Hey everyone, this is my first blog post!" and one from five months ago that says, "Oh my God, I haven't posted anything here in forever. I promise I'll start posting real soon."

    You know what?! The people who use Comic Sans MS can kiss my ass! Seriously.

    (No offense to the comics who actually have MS, of course...)

    How about people who use Trebuchet as the body text of their blog, eh?

    The body text on your site looks fine to me. I couldn't read a whole book full of Trebuchet MS, but it does look unobtrusive at small sizes, even though there's more of it. At larger sizes, though, the lowercase g is in love with its own shape, and it always tries really hard to impress us all. At night it goes home, gets drunk, and calls up the lowercase d from Cochin italic.
