On the CAST blog we try to keep the design plain and simple and easy to read. We picked a larger font size so that those with small screens or "mature" eyesight wouldn't have too much trouble with it. Please let me know if you it's still difficult for any of you. We're happy to change if it's needed.
Other sites, like Facebook, have recently made their fonts smaller in order to fit more on a page "above the fold" since not everyone likes to scroll. Sites try to strike a balance been font size and fitting as much above the fold as possible.
A handy tip, which I discovered by hitting the wrong keys on my keyboard, is to press and hold the "CTRL" key while pressing the "+" key. This will zoom in a little so that the font is easier to read. You can also make the print smaller with the "-" key in the same way.
One of our blog team goals is to make this a joyful, refreshing place on the internet and it can't be that for people if they can't read our posts.
Give this a try!

"For in Him you have been enriched in every way -
in all your speaking and in all your knowledge -
because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you."
1 Corinthians 1:5,6
Moss covered letter by restruct3As a person who has had an office job for more years than I care to share with much of my past jobs having been involved in creating various presentations, the way letters and words appear are important to me. And for those of you who may not be computer savvy, the reference to "font" is the description of how the letters are formatted (bold, italics, etc) and the style of them.
At work one day, a co-worker mentioned to another co-worker that I was a “born again” Christian. That person, who also was a Christian, said that they thought I was probably one. And flippantly I remarked, “You thought? If I may be the only Bible you can read, my font must be awfully small!”
Through the next several days and weeks I could not let go of that thought. Was my font in tiny 8 point letters? Was it readable at all? Maybe not only small but in some obscure unrecognizable script?
I started looking at people as though they were a written copy of the Bible. Were those who read the King James Version a traditional Times New Roman print? I imagined those dedicated to the New International Version would relay their messages in a standard Ariel font. And those who read the contemporary versions could possibly be an easy to read and pleasing to the eye, Verdana type.
When the pastor preaches, I see him using several different fonts. At times soft smooth monotype corsiva leading into strong powerful PosterBodoni BT! Then back to an anecdotal Comic Sans and ending with a prayerful Calligrapher font.
One night I was at, of all things, a poetry read. Oh my goodness, the fonts there were too numerous to note. Some were loud, some soft, some unassuming while others were just plain fun! None of these fonts represented the Lord (I was hoping mine might) and most just the opposite, except one young girl about 14 years old. She waited until everyone had finished reading and she shared an excerpt of what she had written about how important Christ was in her life.
I saw her font as a child
scribbling on the walls in crayons or in chalk
on a sidewalk for all to see and read. And it was sweet and beautiful.
If only my font could be so simple, so direct and so bold.
How about you? What font are you?
