Testing the comments section.

Text size on the main page is a little small, especially in the “Posted by” line.

You can fix that in the style sheet by bumping “font-size:80%;” in the “.post” section to “font-size:100%;”.If so, you should probably bump the sidebar to 80% from 67% as well. Font sizes accumulate so the “75%” setting for “.posted” means 75% of the post font size (because the “posted” DIV is inside the “post” DIV).

You think it’s too small, Kevin? I think it’s too big. Still playing with it anyway. It’s much easier to make wholesale changes like a font size in MT than Blogger, that’s for sure.

I should point out that the displayed size depends on your browser settings. On IE, for instance, you can change the font size by selecting “Text Size” from the View menu.

Even with my display set at 1024×768, text looks too big to me if my browser text size is set to “Medium.” If I set my display up to 1280×1024 I have to set my browser text size to “Larger” to be able to read it — and then I find that most images are too small for me to see clearly.

Go figure.

No problem with main font size in IE or Mozilla/NS 7.1

New comments section now has a more readable font.

Not sure if paragraph linebreaks are registering in comments section…

You can modify that under “Weblog Config” in the “Preferences” section. The item is named “Text Formatting for comments:”

Unfortunately, you have to format all of the comments the same way. You can set it to “None” or “convert line breaks” which means “change end of line to a BR element”, or “textile” which does textile formatting. This last choice gives you end of line to BR plus double end of line to P conversions (among other things).

Also note that there is a preview button to see what things would look like without actually posting the comment.
