The Press This bookmarklet is neat, but it would be a lot neater if it used the regular post editing screen interface.
It turns out, this was quite easy to do from a plugin. So, this is version 1.0, a proof of concept, if you will. See the overview for more info.
Update: For your forking pleasure, check out the github repository.
If you’re a web designer, you’re probably familiar with the typographical concept of “baseline rhythm“.
While tackeling the problem on this site, all I could find was baseline rhytm calculators. Sure, that helps a little, but it wasn’t quite what I needed. So I wrote this bookmarklet, creatively named “Baseline Checker”.
It draws equally spaced horizontal lines on top of a webpage. The position and the distance between the lines is calculated in reference to a particular element on that page.
With it, you can see for yourself if the baseline is consistent or not.
