Thanks Kate, sorry to be a pain. Maybe this is the impetus i need as a forceful reminder to wear my glasses.

Congrats on the new look. I miss the banner that was on the top of the other one tho…but we’re all about what’s on the inside, not the outside, right? And what’s “in” this blog is fabulous. :-)

Holy crap this type is small!

(Good thing I read through a feed–I have IE set so my text is displayed smaller than the honkin’ huge “normal” type on the many site I visit, but somethin’ kinda weird happens here.)

Still, it’s an attractive design, when I set the text back to the default.

By the way–I’ve been hanging around for a while, and love this blog. :-D

Kate, I know some CSS; when I get a chance I’ll see what I can do with upping the contrast or font size.

Madge, I’m really sorry the type is hard to read! The problem is, I’m limited by WordPress’s standard templates, and further limited by which templates have all the elements I’m looking for. (Joie, we did create Fillyjonk and Sweet Machine tags, but in the old template, the tags didn’t even show up on the front page.) Basically, there are about 4 I could use, and the other ones either have even smaller type than this or something else wrong with them.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to spend on custom CSS or the time to learn it, so this is the best I can do right now. It really does suck that it’s hard for some people to read, and I wish I had a way to fix it.

Would it be easier if you read the posts through a feed? Then you could come here for the comments in blue!

Hi Kate, i do like the new design, I DO. (but) the type, when at a tint, against white, is a bit hard to read. It’s great in the comments section against blue, but against white, it bit hard. I’m an old lady though.
so maybe it’s just me.

anyway, i do like the new design. you can tell me to go to hell. that’s cool too.

FYI, lisiepeasie and I’s template doesn’t let you see who wrote the post, but we got around that with “Joie” and “lisiepeasie” tags. I figure I’d mention it in case there were other templates you liked better.

i think it sounds like an indie band.

Okay, now I’m thinking Kate Harding’s Shapely Prose sounds like an indie band too! We should all go on tour together.
