Ethan Horger
The goal here was to try out a blog entry layout that Ethan has always wanted to try, in which the author’s bio would always be displayed on the top-left of the article, legal notices at the bottom, and some kind of quote or supplemental material pinned in the middle of the article. With CSS Grid, the layout degrades to using floats in IE 8 and 9, and doesn’t maintain the article quote in the middle of the article, but is otherwise fully readable.
