New Font: What D'ya Think?

DO YOU LIKE THE NEW TYPEFACE EVERYONE? It's just normal Times (I'm shocked at how paltry the selection here is: especially of colours. Everything is two shades darker than the hue I'd go for. As if it needs a good wipe over with a damp cloth...)

Anyway, do you like this typeface? Or does it look too reminiscent of a 1910-published provincial newspaper?

I don't know. The other one looked too girlie to me. A bit Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder packaging... know what I mean...? At least this blog has a far nicer template than the other one (my blogspot archive blog). That one looks to my eyes like a BT telephone bill... Ruth, you're English, do you agree??

  1. I like it...I often wish I could get the font on mine larger...I can't read it!! without glasses. Will no doubt get around to fiddling with it one day

  2. Ah:- you just go to font & there's a little button down and to the right, it doesn't give you a number confirmation or anything: I upped it about 3 or 4 times to get it like this.

    Also BTW I think I know the prob I have/had sometimes getting into your comments: when I set mine up I had the option "comments as pop-up" or not. The default is "no"- maybe yours got altered? Mine are set as nonpopup. I think yours have been falling foul of my popupblocker...

  3. I've never been a fan of Times as a font; perhaps it's just that it's so overused nowadays (at least it is in the States). Never saw a BT telephone bill ... our AT&T uses Helvetica, which I despise.

    However, your Times here is better than what you had, and I must say overall that the effect is positive. I did notice an improvement, but before reading this I didn't know what it was.

    How does Mousie like it?? hehe

  7. Hey Gledwood,
    Totally diff from my blog - but that isn't a bad thing. Actually your writing kindof reminds me of friends from the good old bad old days... Nostalgia and all that.

    Keep on passing the open windows
    (hopefully going up not down) 8^)
