Regulating Technology

Can I veer horribly into my favourite tangent - I love the presentation style, the look-and-feel. It's a blog version of what he did at A18Z - a sort of sophisticated corporate but with the look of something that could be knocked up from Markdown.

I could steal the CSS, but that's is only 20% of the battle - getting graphs that match the snazz, getting everything just right, but with this off handed vibe.

As I get older this stuff matters.

Interesting but I found the opposite. Font a bit small, grey on grey hard to read and no links whatsoever! (Why not if you are writing for the web?) No strong personality comes across - and I like most of what Ben does. I find it actually visually less engaging than a lot of corporate blogs.

Are you reading on desktop or mobile? I’m asking because I’m setting up a blog myself, and the font I’m using looks a bit small. I’m curious what you think a good font size is in general.

"16px" is a very good font size. I.e. don't do anything, just let the browser use its default.
