Magic Smoke Poll: Font Size for Entries?

Hi folks -- here's a quick poll -- ever since I started this blog, I've stayed with the AOL Journals default font for my entries.

So, the poll question is simply this: Should I change the font I use in my Journal entries? (I'm thinking about font size, primarily -- if you tell me to switch to Comic Sans MS, I will have to override you on that):

As I was preparing this entry, I figured I would investigate changing the default font size for the AOL in-client Web browser (which is just a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer), though I will do that in a follow-up entry I have lined up for tomorrow.

( If you don't want to wait, I will basically be expanding on this AOL Help entry).

Thanks -- Joe

Rhianna -- There's nothing "wrong" with Comic Sans MS -- I just prefer simple fonts. It's just a matter of tastes, and Comic Sans isn't "serious" enough for mine. (I mean, just look at the name -- Comic Sans.) Thanks -- Joe (posted & mailed)

Hi Riverdaughter196 -- sorry to hear that your church is having problems sending mails to AOL members. I'm sure they're not being blocked purposefully; it's a side-effect of the AOL mail folks's war on spam.

The AOL postmaster team is usually pretty responsive, so your previous requests may not have made it to the right folks. I suggest that your church's e-mailers check out the AOL Postmaster Web site, with resources at http://postmaster.info.aol.com/selfhelp/index.html

There is also contact information at http://postmaster.info.aol.com/contact/

Thanks -- Joe (posted & mailed)

riverdaughter196: Tell your church to stop using the words "Asian Pr0n" in the subject line and things should clear up.

I don't know, Joe. I think you should do like some of the cool kids on MySpace and other parts of teh internets and use a hot pink background with bold, 28pt. lime-green colored font just to fry our retinas. I mean, twenty minutes after signing off, all I need to do is close my eyes, and I can STILL see the page.

Don't care what you use in your entries, LOL, but please ask AOL to fix font size 12 in our journals. Thank you very much! :)
