We're old blogging comrades so I value what you have to say. I'll have a play around with the design over the weekend.

I do realise that in making these comments I'm subtly threatening a no doubt much-thought-about-and-pleasing aesthetic schema which, I agree, does <i>look</i> nice. <br /><br />But I'm older than you, and I had moderately bad eyesight even when I was your age, so certain types of dramatic typology or graphics, on print or on the screen, have always been difficult for me. It's one reason why I never buy the mag Red Pepper for instance - I simply can't read it. (To be fair: Red Pepper once had headache inducing small print and lots of non white background. I've no idea if it still does as I stopped even looking when I found I couldn't read it). <br /><br />Blogging is about communication so I don't think I'm being selfish: my comments are only made to help you communicate with a wider number of people.CharlieMcMenaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942021756417667913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-81232579398205589172012-10-11T20:49:27.211+01:002012-10-11T20:49:27.211+01:00I'll have a tinker over the weekend and see wh...I'll have a tinker over the weekend and see what I can do.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298147857234479278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-189338357842050172012-10-09T23:41:12.865+01:002012-10-09T23:41:12.865+01:00Um, that's very slightly more unreadable - it&...Um, that's very slightly more unreadable - it's the black background that is the basic problem....CharlieMcMenaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942021756417667913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-56967659318660159432012-10-09T22:32:33.754+01:002012-10-09T22:32:33.754+01:00Your wish, Charlie, is my command.

I have to use the Firefox Readability add-on to read stuff presented in this way - and, to be frank, I wouldn't bother unless I already knew the blog was worth reading. (Your blog <i>is</i> worth reading) <br /><br />P.S.I love the washing machines....CharlieMcMenaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942021756417667913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-13919161009846227752012-10-09T17:34:24.527+01:002012-10-09T17:34:24.527+01:00Interesting post.

No matter how hard Labour attack immigrants and benefits claimants, it can always be outdone by the Tories. If the economy is still in the toilet, finger pointing might be enough to keep some working class Tories on side.Fangsnoreply@blogger.com
