- coldtea 10y agoNo, the actual lesson is you hardly or rarely need to put anything but text in it. And it seems it wasn't learned...

What also helps is developing the CSS/HTML so that the reader mode in browsers can be triggered and used to read your content - now users can essentially make the experience fit their own requirements using a built in browser feature.
- interfacesketch 10y ago> A blog is really fast if you don't put anything but text in it basically Here's a dummy test page I made a while ago to see if I could create a fairly lengthy, fast-loading text page for slow mobile connections. It's hosted on a cheap shared hosting plan, so it may well fall over (or not!) Version A (no font loading): http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-a.html http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-a.html Version B (loads custom fonts - an extra 40kb approx): http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-b.html http://interfacesketch.com/test/energy-book-synopsis-b.html The image at the top of the page hasn't been optimized (about 40kb), however I do think aesthetics are important in page design and I'm against reverting to a plain HTML look with no CSS styling. The test pages above are plain looking but, I hope, reasonably pleasant to look at. (The custom font version looks nicer in my view than the no font loading version, but of course it adds a bit of extra page weight).
