Ask Wednesday: What about the blog's background color?

White on green still, in a different font

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback comments on last Wednesday's column ("How easily, reader, can you read our white text on dark background?"). It persuaded us that we can confidently continue to publish white text on Jingle Jangle green. Anyone needing dark-on-white contrast has the easy option of subscribing to receive email notifications, which include each post's entire text, conveyed in conventional black on white, along with the graphics in color.
    To sign up to receive email notifications, just complete the "Follow by Email" option in the sidebar. You will subsequently receive an email asking you to confirm, then, after you confirm, you will start receiving the notifications.
    To comment on a post, you will of course have to visit the blog, as you always do.

We did change the text font, however – to Georgia [from Adobe Garamond Pro – these characters are in that font]. Garamond, while visually appealing for its less densely packed lines of text, is less legible when it comes to individual characters. As you can see for yourself, Georgia's characters are slightly larger and more open than those of Garamond.
