Ultimately I wasn't happy with how it looked. The great thing about technology is that folks can adjust their own computer monitors if they need a larger display. <br /><br />Hey - maybe we can get Thomas to write a "how to" so we can link to it? All in favor of a MacEntee tutorial on how to customize a display – raise your hands!Kathryn Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508373744866161837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-11599488177583345582009-12-04T12:21:48.650-06:002009-12-04T12:21:48.650-06:00I love the large writing, but I don't use it b...I love the large writing, but I don't use it because I can't fit stuff right.

I do find it annoying when there are only a few words on a line though. I would also suggest a template with wider margins. But when reading it on my iphone the smaller templates are easier to zoom into the size that I can read them and not have to move back and forth. I think this is one of the items that everyone is going to feel differently and you need to decide what you like best.Tina Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659702987536188214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-59394678116785684102009-12-04T10:51:27.360-06:002009-12-04T10:51:27.360-06:00I like the larger type, but Randy makes a good poi...I like the larger type, but Randy makes a good point about the url length. From a type and layout perspective... larger type usually does better with a longer line length (like Thomas said) which could be a hassle to configure. The normal size is still bigger and more readable than quite a few blogs I come across.Family Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187854767575444823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-83870171604779385492009-12-04T10:46:05.179-06:002009-12-04T10:46:05.179-06:00I'm probably the oldest of those that have com...I'm probably the oldest of those that have commented so far, but the "small" print is not that bad for my 66-year old eyes. <br /><br />I have my font size set to "Larger" anyway so your larger font size shows only six to eight words now.<br /><br />You could pick a template that expands to fill the browser page (on my computer, your blog has left and right margins with inches of unused space)<br /><br />Another thing to consider is long URLs if you use them - they will slop over into second lines if you use the larger font. <br /><br />I read almost everything in a reader and so the font size doesn't matter much to me.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-8630982372011620912009-12-04T10:29:14.736-06:002009-12-04T10:29:14.736-06:00Either one works for me but I too like the larger ...Either one works for me but I too like the larger size.
