Harry–
Thanks for the plug. I really enjoyed the interview and chat. The first show (with you in it) is scheduled to go up August 27th (my birthday!). Thanks for doing the show and thanks for mentioning it on your blog.

Larry, you old fart. If I get a lot of time in the near future, I’ll start exploring switching to a new theme. I haven’t looked at the various WordPress themes in a long time – I have used this theme from day one. I’m used to it. But if geezers like you have trouble seeing it, I’m limiting my potential readership severely considering the age of many ACW enthusiasts.

If there are any WordPress users reading this, what do you guys think of “Freshy”?

Harry,

I agree with Eric; font size is OK but black letters on a light background works better for me.

Thanks for the input, guys. For now I’m sticking with this, though maybe I will change my theme. I do get a whole lot of positive feedback on my theme, and only a couple people have complained (most notably the folks at Civil War Interactive, who have eternally damned me for the white print on black on the now static CWi blogs page while failing to admonish at least two other CW bloggers who have the same combo).

And Eric, I have progressive lenses, too. Remember, I’m even older than you!

Harry,

I don’t mind the small font at all. However, when I briefly had a black background with white letters, I had an absolute FLOOD of complaints about finding it too hard to read white letters against a black background, which is why it barely last a week. Please allow me to suggest that the combination of the smaller font combined with the white letters and black background is tough on those of us who have suddenly begun to find that our arms are to short to read things without proper reading glasses…….

Harry, — The CSS is actually fairly easy to manipulate. Whenever I paste from Word I have the same problem, but it’s just a matter of going in and getting rid of the HTML at the beginning which changes the font and size and getting rid of the throughout that post that break it up. Other than that the font looks good.

Harry,

Not only are you a radio star (which is very close to “rock star”), but you’ve also taught me how to make the text bigger on my computer, for which I thank you!

And if your band happens to touring the Sharpsburg, Boonsboro, Keedysville circuit, I’d really appreciate an “all access” pass, actually two of them, and I’d like to be able to hang out with the band, and maybe jam.

Rock on!

Harry,

The smaller size font looks fine to me.
