To be fair, the whole post is about how she is not a web designer. She implicitly acknowledges her shortcomings in that regard.

Except she seems to argue that's because she's not good at the Web specific technicalities. She also says she could respond positively to "I just need you to do the .psd file designs" requests, but believes the whole process should be handled by one person/team.

A good print designer should realize that tiny gray serif text on white wouldn't be particularly reader friendly, as much as a Web-only designer should know that Comic Sans will suck just as much on a billboard.

That's actually exactly the kind of thing that prints beautifully though. That would be much easier to read if printed than it is on a computer screen.

I had to use instapaper to read it.

As we're sharing - and because it might be useful to people generally - I used the Readability bookmarklet: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

I've had readability bookmarked for a few weeks and have occasionally used it to combat bad design. Thing that bugs me is in FF I can't access the bookmarklet without using the bookmark menu or a bookmark bar. Just to clarify I access my bookmarks mainly through the awesome bar. I don't have the file menu displayed nor a bookmark bar visible - this makes it a bit of a pain.

I guess it's a FF bug that javascript bookmarks are not listed by awesomebar? Any suggestions?

Agreed, hard to read text like that. Looks like it should belong on a kindle.

The text fits the design of her site. I actually had no problem reading it as she has it spaced very well.
