It includes:<br /><br />1. Do not use serif fonts (like Times New Roman)<br /><br />2. Us contrasting colours for the fonts and backgrounds<br /><br />3. Never use the same colour tones (i.e. light blue on light red) for the fonts and backgrounds<br /><br />Her recommended fonts are Arial and Lucida Sans in light blue or white against a dark blue background; black (or dark grey) on a white background being a good second choice.<br /><br />Hence the bulk of the text on my blog and my websites use Arial in black on a white background; simple, readable, ... and not too tiring to read ... and write as I am not in the first flush of youth myself!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-28076725713738653242009-10-02T03:20:49.492+01:002009-10-02T03:20:49.492+01:00As long as you have (as you do), dark print on a l...As long as you have (as you do), dark print on a light background (so it is easy to read), I'm happy if you're happy.<br /><br />The ones that my old eyes find difficult is those with colored (or even white) type on a very dark background . . . your blog doesn't have that problem and it looks good.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-11842769440692471492009-10-01T22:21:20.085+01:002009-10-01T22:21:20.085+01:00Ogrefencer,
