Not sure when I'll get around to it, alas... I hadn't thought about the one-page idea, but that does make sense as a (bad) justification. But then why are there so many narrow blogs? @Omari: Oh, that's much better! I like your blog, but it made my eyes hurt. (Literally.) I'd been thinking of e-mailing you to ask if you might be convinced to switch it to black-on-white instead of white-on-black, but actually white-on-black with a larger font looks fine to me. @John: Preview does sound like a good idea.

I checked the default size of my blog and it was 70% as well with font-size x-small...I swiftly changed it to 110% and what a world of difference. Someone may actually read it now... :P Keen points.

This may be true for advertising copy, but it's nonsense for blogs -- so if you don't have little teeny eyes for reading little teeny print, please stick to default fonts! I have to set my default Firefox zoom to 150% to compensate. There seems to be a widespread belief that users never scroll down, and if you don’t pack all your text on one page, it won’t get red.
