Good start! Don't be afraid to increase the font size - my eye sight is okay, but it's not easy for me to read the text surrounding the headlines unless I focus

- markkat 15y ago:) You are probably right. I have a small font bias. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if anything else strikes you one way or the other.
- roundsquare 15y agoIs it just me, or do a lot of us geeks have a small font bias? Is it because we want more information on the screen? Personally, I like small fonts when I'm coding but larger fonts for other stuff.
- markkat 15y agoNot just you. I think you are right, it probably has something to do with information density. Which does raise an interesting question: Could font size play a role in the audience that you attract and maintain? No doubt 14pt Comic Sans would have a deleterious effect upon HN. IMO, it could make a difference. 7pt Tahoma might be a bit too small, but I do think there is an 'intelligent aesthetic' that font size plays into.
