The thing is, if I'm reading your blog, I don't care about your custom font. I don't even know if I care about what your blog says yet when I click on it, so I certainly don't care about how it looks.

If I could take only the text from your web page, I would probably be all for it. Maybe after reading it I might care to see the rest of your site.

A text blog honestly has no business being drastically larger than, you know, the text I came to read. Which is why I like RSS readers.

i think it seemed more provocative than it was meant to be ;) But i don't agree :)

I like things that look nice, not fancy, over the top animated. But a good picture paired with a nice font, maybe combined with a tasteful color scheme and i have much more fun reading. It doesn't that much. Idk, maybe we're just wired different, but for me reading RSS in every break would be too repetitive visually ;)
