Dear Friends.....
I just posted a Blog now.... I changed its colours, Font and Size many times, even after publishing, i edited it many times to make it comfort for reading.....
I am still not satisfied.....So, I just wanted to know your opinion on that.....Please let me know the type of Font, size of the Font and the Colour of it, you feel comfort while reading....
I think it will be useful to other Bloggers also....

I like Blue, Green, Pink and Black colours to read.....But, when its a long passage then its better to be in a colour which is comfort to eyes.....But all these conditions are not for the Blogs of yours, which i never read, but i always watch them..yes, ur blogs are visualised and so i dont feel that i am reading them......and now tell me, Which one do u like to watch? Colour Video or Black&White.....hehehe.....
Blue and green are my favorites. I used TAHOMA and 3 as font and size for most of my blogs.
Black is always preferred because our eyes are used to read a lot of reading materials in black.
Nice discussion, Bala!
Needless to say, the colour of your Blogs are as attractive as your Colourful profile pic, my dear Anele......
Anele, first I posted my blog in Blue Colour and then changed it to Black......I thought Blue will be more preferred since we use Blue Ink while writing....
I always writing using black pen. So that's why I guess it's natural for me to type using black font. But honestly I never associate the usage of both of them.
Noas....,
In South India, Its a strict rule to use Blue Ink in all our Exams and we use only Blue Ink for writing assignments etc...and hence i thought Blue will be convenient.., but as Anele and you have said, we are used to read the Printed materials in black and so i think we are more convenient on this colour.......
I see ... over here .. writing in black ink pen is considered more official.
Thanks for posting ur opinion Liedy..............
Yes....You are right......I have changed both my Blogs and Discussions to Black.....hehehe....Thanks a Lot......
HI ALL,
Since all of you have voted for Black Colour Font..., I have changed my Blog to the same.....Thank u all
Hi Bala from India, I think blog is a bit "relax" in terms of using font(s) and colour(s). They are not really "official" writing as such. Thus, I think using various font(s) and colour(s) in blog(s) are acceptable. However, I prefer writing in just normal font and use colours sparsely in my blogs such as to for "Title" and "The end". If I want to highlight certain things, I prefer to use "bold" and "Italics".
In other words, I am an "old fashioned" kind of writer. I was taught to write that way, so it's hard for me to change. Furthermore, using the traditional way of writing is not straining for my eyes, and as a reader, I don't like to strain my eyes when reading.
Using colour(s) in our writing is nice, but as a writer, I believed we need to put ourselves as readers. Will the colour(s) choice is good? Will the reader find it relaxing to the eyes when reading our colourful blog(s)?
