You should use other, less impressive examples. Eg: if you tell me I'll never be better than Dan Brown, I might just quit, but Borges... I already knew that.

Thanks to Penless for the nudge. I’ve eliminated the font hassles — in the sense that the site now displays in your browser’s default sans-serif font, whatever that may be.

Have you tried Verdana, instead? I find that one's spaced out a little better and is more regular in character size. It is possible that it's just my eyes swimming, instead of the text, of course... Excellent new site, but I have to agree with the above and say that the font is really difficult to read on the background – is it Tahoma? Have you tried Verdana, instead? I find that one’s spaced out a little better and is more regular in character size. It is possible that it’s just my eyes swimming, instead of the text, of course…

Oh, and I know who you're talking about, Sean, and I'm not her. Not sure who PW is. I'm going to be wracking my brain trying to figure that one out. :) It does seem to be a little easier, though I agree with the individual voice that it looks pretty good against the green of your response.

Actually doesn't seem so bad against the green, for some reason. Funny post, but I agree that the font is a little cramped and anemic against the grey.

If you (or anyone else) still have problems reading, please let me know. There are other options. Josephine, I have an inkling about who Anon. is (someone else known to say "yanno"), but I'm not telling. Anon., I’ve altered the backgrounds on the posts and on the sidebar to increase the contrast.
