As you correctly observed, the previous colour did jiggle a bit. <br /><br />Don't forget, you could go back to the old font, keep the new colour and just bump up the font size by 1 or 2 points.<br /><br />I keep putting off my blog facelift, afraid I might f - it up. But I know it's coming, it has to.<br /><br />Anyway, hope my two pennies worth helped some way.<br /><br />;) xMark Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002166292175980928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-89750654131590947722013-07-06T12:27:45.847-04:002013-07-06T12:27:45.847-04:00@Valerie, can't you get your minions to do it?...@Valerie, can't you get your minions to do it?

Which also means I *should* (but don't) use two reading glasses.

So far, it seems the Lucida Sans Unicode's a hit, while there's still some interest in the Languid Lavender for text color. Thus, I've added one more test section, which is the new font with the old color, for further comparison.<br /><br />Annalisa, I'd read that, because reading text against a dark background proved hard on the eyes, those who insist on this kind of blog theme should be sure to provide a large-enough sized font that left room around the letters. Contrast/vibration of text font matters very much, as I learned last year, when my blog was critiqued. I'd been using white which, really, was horrible against the dark background!<br /><br />Sara Leigh: "Scale!" Yes, thank you! That's the word I groped around for and couldn't palpate as I wrote this post! And LOL about that ex-husband comment. Hah! :-D<br /><br />Elise, how interesting! Are you near- or far-sighted? Funny, last two eye exams, my left eye, which was VERY near-sighted, had improved and required a less strong Rx. Seems we become more far-sighted over time. Meanwhile, pretty much every Web site I visit gets the CTL + Plus Sign treatment, so I can magnify the text, otherwise my eyes completely wig out.<br /><br />Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-65174781382320544442013-07-01T11:41:18.456-04:002013-07-01T11:41:18.456-04:00I like the changes you've made, both color and...I like the changes you've made, both color and the resulting font size.Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433553777714637069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-86981794484238605232013-07-01T10:44:56.119-04:002013-07-01T10:44:56.119-04:00Prefer the new font size and the Languid Lavendar!...Prefer the new font size and the Languid Lavendar!

With them off, I like the Lucida Sans Unicode font/Silver color. Does that help? Probably not. I like Sara's advice, try one for a while and if you don't like it you can always go back.

Truthfully, I find the Languid Lavender easier on the eyes from a contrast standpoint. Even though the new color is a gray, I find it a harsher contrast, too close to white against black. Of course, I also generally prefer almost any shade of purple to any other color. Hahahaha. I also like it better with the red you use. But it's not really that big a difference and should be whatever floats your boat. Try the new one for a while. You can always go back. It's not like it's an ex-husband; reconciling with him is rarely a good idea.Sara Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257302421725766079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679351593858166308.post-140185508995517452013-07-01T06:29:18.609-04:002013-07-01T06:29:18.609-04:00The change is a bit easier to read. :) I also twe...The change is a bit easier to read. :) I also tweaked my font a while back, a bit darker and bigger text.
