pile.org is proud to use Georgia as its preferred body text. Georgia is intended, and well-designed, for on-screen body text.)
We use Benguiat Gothic Bold for headers and display text1.
We use an enhanced version (details to come) of the dynamic text replacement script from A List Apart. Along with that, we use our own text-to-image script to generate images.
Content is managed using Textpattern, a very nice open-source content management system.
The site is hosted at Textdrive, founded by the people who do Textpattern. Their service is good, their rates reasonable, and their karma clean.
The animal on the front of pile.org is E. coli, at 1:1 magnification. Its genome has been fully sequenced.
1 “Benguiat” is apparently pronounced “ben-gat”.
