Next: New Poll – Adjusting Font Size
I simply loved seeing this. It was a how to, on how to increase the font size on a web page using your browser. Check out Healthy Fellow’s website. Healthy Fellow critiques about natural health products, and additionally writes about health tips. There are numerous categories, and the number one tag word on the blog is Heart.
I was checking out Healthy Fellow’s site, and saw those three little words, “Font too small?” I wasn’t sure what wasn’t going to happen when I clicked it. I expected it would simply increase the font size, and that would be the end of it. It didn’t though. What it did do is open up a new window that had instructions on how you can make your browser do it. Absolutely fantastic! A lot of people don’t know how to do it, and when visiting this site they can figure out not just how to adjust the font on this site, but anybody’s site. Below is a screenshot of the popup.
I thought it was a very nice touch to a website, and I give Healthy Fellow two thumbs up for doing it. It’s the first time I have seen this.
