Typography has always been a bit of a black art for me. In the end, I usually just settle on something that (I think) doesn't look terrible. Anyone have some basic and intermediate tutorials/guides, sites, and book recommendations?

Just to avoid giving the link-spammer any more free visitors, I confirm that the link in the parent comment is nothing but a ripped excerpt from the original with no extra content.
My apologies. Just wanted to give credit to site where I found the article (which I have nothing to do with, by the way).
Reminds me of the Stanford address where Jobs claims that computers may not have had typography if he'd not done a calligraphy course. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc I'm sure the Parc guys that founded Adobe would beg to differ.
I'm sure the Parc guys that founded Adobe would beg to differ. Maybe, but I am not sure how much. I'd say Apple played a major role in Adobe becoming Adobe. It was Jobs who persuaded them to change initial plan to build the whole package: computer + printer, and focus on software which Apple needed for LaserWriter. "Steve did a prepayment on royalties to make sure we had the resources to stay in business, and Apple a…

Sorry, I didn't notice that you were also the original poster, and mistook your comment for link-spam (as, presumably, did the other down-voters).
Chorded keyboards didn't work because they had keys . Smartphones didn't work because they had not enough board . So, if you come up with something that's larger than a smartphone and can run a chorded keyboard without keys, you use... ...yes, you use qwerty. It's not just the typography. Typing in iPad is stupid, too.

If it wasn't ragged, it would most likely look even worse than that Pooh example in the article. It depends on the size of font, which you can't (on the web) control. And he is right, justified paragraphs without hyphenation are ugly, unless you have a lot of characters on a line. Which he has not (around the images especially), and the example is even worse. I wouldn't even think of displaying justified paragraphs f…
Too ragged was the criticism, which is different from not ragged. There is enough control in CSS to make it look better, and many people do.
