In case you hadn’t heard, a few things changed south of the boarder today (something about a new president I think, not really sure…), and along the way the White House website relaunched (even if it does opt to use ASP in favour of PHP)

Of interest to coders is a comparison of the old robots.txt file to the new one. As if the case with many of the comparisons between the outgoing president, and incoming one, the old robots.txt file is pretty exclusionary having over 2,400 lines hiding specific content pages or folders from search engines while the new one has only two lines of standard exclusion rules.

This comes from vaults of something I thought I shared a few weeks ago, but it must have slipped through the cracks. Check out this piece on ABC news taking a look at the fonts used by the “remaining” US Presidential Candidates (at the time of the piece Hillary was still in the race). It’s an interesting chance to see Typography covered on nation-wide news!
