On Typography

Here are a couple examples I found on the internet that give good examples of typography:

The Wall street Journal site is obviously much more complicated, but makes very good use of text wrapping, headlines, font size, color differences, and bold lettering. The page setup is also very appealing. The three column format gives it a newspaper feel even though it is on the internet.

The technology blog I linked to is much more simple, but still utilizing text wrapping and differences in boldness and color to make it smooth. It is however fairly repetitive and doesn't offer much in the way of variety.
