New Formatting

by Sonia Simone

In the interest of protecting your eyesight, I’ve bumped up the font on the body copy of the blog by a couple of points.

It looks good on all the machines I can test it on, but if things look wacky on your machine, will you leave a comment on this post and let me know? Thanks as always!

I always prefer bigger fonts :)

Thanks.

I really hate those websites with teeny tiny fonts, and use the browser’s “increase font size” lavishly.

Let’s hope more people will follow.

PS. (obviously) it looks great in the latest version of Safari.

Sonia, I thank you. My eyes thank you. My brain thanks you. That wrinkle between my eyebrows thanks you. And everyone over 40 thanks you, whether they admit it or not.

Falling squarely into that category (40+) myself, yep, I like it better too! :)

As a firm believer in the need for good web design for the aging eye, I appreciate your bigger font. I wear multifocal contacts which can be a problem with the computer screen. The older user (65+) like myself appreciate your efforts. You may have seen this before but it discusses what I mean. http://www.spry.org/pdf/website_creators_guide.pdf

Looks great on Safari too! Care to share the font size and line spacing?
