Restyling the site - discussion

This is a thread for stylistic suggestions if anyone wants to talk about it...

Was playing with fonts on HEM's post about Self earlier, because I felt that maybe the font could be darker, sharper, and spaced better for maximum journalistic feel...

Here's what I thought looked better... To test this in Chrome, right click on a paragraph (you could right click right here on this text if you want to), then click inspect element, then on the Styles tab to the right, you'll see element.style { } at the top of the list. Click inside the curly braces and paste this:

font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: black;
line-height: 150%;

So you have this:

element.style {
font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: black;
line-height: 150%;
}

Your paragraph will now have the new styles applied and you can see what it looks like.

Speaking of fonts, have you found the "sarcasm" font yet?

I like the direction that this site is going. Good Job by ALL. I'm over 70 years old and I like the "larger and darker" font size suggestion. The BORDERS on the little boxes (Unread messages and clicking on the Right Side to see the unread message) also need to be a little darker. My ole EYES are not as good as 20 some years ago. I am a "frequent reader" and a "infrequent poster" of Jayhawk BB information. The more posting and 'useful articles;'' the Better.
