[p2pu-dev] first webmaking 101 challenge group on alpha.p2pu.org

[Arlton Lowry]

I looked over the site and couldn't find any issues with replacing the font. There were already some things that needed to be adjust prior that still need to be adjusted, but that's about it.

Also the Challenge's progress bar looks good.

Can anyone else point to another site that uses a slab-serif typeface exclusively for all the text on the site? I don't know of one. We need to provide the users the familiarity that they find on the rest of the web. They don't need to be jostled by how different the typeface of the P2PU content is.
