and size<font size="3">One of the most important things for anyone reading your page is readability <br>If they can't read what you've written they won't read it <br><br>Now I've seen a couple pages today (yes I've been looking) that where either <span style="background-color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"><font color="blue">blue on a dark background</font></span> or had a flashing gif background I opened that one and went "OH [swear removed]" and closed the page didn't even bother to really look at what was written <br>The blue text at least I could highlight it but the flashing background oh boy way too much sorry<br><br>Of course size (which does matter) comes into play as well, before I post I allways choose "Normal" from the font size drop down list makes the text a little bigger and easier to read <br><br>Yes I could because I use Firefox choose [View > Page style > No Style] or hold down the ctrl key and scroll my mouse wheel so text is bigger and on a plain background but hey lazy person here I like to read things straight up <br><br>So if you are a theme designer or you are just starting or maybe you don't know anything about CSS and use Custom Colors or a default background, please make sure that things are easily read <br>If you have to cross your eyes and squint at your page to read it then chances are others will have too as well so make it easy on everyone remember when you are posting what color your page is it's an easy mistake to make because compose is black on white to make the text colour a <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">dark</span> color by habit .. or<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"> even yellowish</span> orange <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">or brown</span>..<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">You may have to highlight some parts of this so you can read it<br>(this entry cross posted to <a href="http://blogaddictsanon.blogspot.com">Blogger</a> from <a

topic <span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://missthemed.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SSIm5QoKCDoAAC3jTeg1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.missthemed.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SSIm5QoKCDoAAC3jTeg1/shawki2.gif?et=PMa0r%2CKJ4E%2BlywxRBdj5Cg&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span><font size="3">Was watching the TV last night and one of those shows came on where they "do up" the house for a family who is deserving you've seen the kind of show I'm talking about <br>Anyway this particular one their son had fallen into the pool when he was two years old, he lived but was severely brain damaged this was around three years ago he's now 5 years old, can hardly move, can't talk can't do any of the things a normal 5 year old can, he couldn't even smile when they brought in the Wiggles<br><br>Now I'm just thinking here seriously I don't know what I would have done if that had happened to one of my kids it's not a life that I would like them to lead <br>What this family have done though is set up a foundation for families with seriously disabled children because a lot do end up in homes the family's can't cope, don't think I could have either.<br></font><font size="3">A child's wheelchair and be as much if not more than $5000 for a child with that kind of disability, this foundation helps with things like that and also teaches pool safety.</font><br><font size="3"><br>Be a different story if the child was born like that but wouldn't it be in the back of your mind I wish they had died in the accident because then at least they wouldn't have to live the rest of their life like that<br>An adult has lived their life a child hasn't but what kind of life is it ?<br>Someone like Stephen Hawkins who's condition worsens over the years or Christopher Reeves who's accident caused his paralysis but who's brains still function (functioned in Christopher Reeves case) they have money, a lot more than this little boy does maybe he is a genius, maybe he is the next Hawkins<br><br>Maybe maybe not who knows but for a child from 2 years old to live their life like that unable to move hardly remembering that they could without the voice synthesisers and the electronic gadgets that a lot of money can buy, this child has to live his whole life without communication what kind of a life is that?<br><br>Now I'm not saying everyone who's so disabled should be euthanized can't say that you wouldn't get the Hawkin's of the world if you did that <br>What I'm saying is it is slightly cruel don't you think not to give him the best kind of gadgets that would help him actually LIVE and communicate with the rest of the world the body might not work but the brain does.<br><br>What are your thoughts on this?<br>Could you cope? <br>Would you know that your child was desperately trying to communicate with you?<br>Could you cope financially for the rest of your child's life?<br>If you have a disabled child, what are your thoughts? <br><br><font size="2"><span style="font-style: italic;">If you want to blog about this on your own page you can you don't have to answer here</span></font><br></font>

to Bloggers Anonymous <font size="3"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Greetings, namaste, gutentag</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Origionally set up as a Yahoo group, Bloggers Anonymous soon had its own 360 page (now defunct) and a web site (also defunct) but is still going as a Yahoo group </span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">BA of course now blogs on </span><a style="font-family: Verdana;" href="http://blogaddictsanon.blogspot.com/">Blogger</a><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> and on</span><a style="font-family: Verdana;" href="http://bloggersanonymous.multiply.com"> Multiply </a><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some folks aren't quite sure what BA is all about (I shorten it to BA you type the words Blogggers Anonymous as much as I do you would too)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Well basically its for bloggers ...the addicted ones and for those who don't blog all that much who just want people to read what they do have to say </span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Or if you want a BA T-shirt we still have some of those left I think ..yeah we do look in the albums on Multiply or on the YGroup , the T-shirts are free so are the donuts and bananas</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">So what can you do here on BA?</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can post a link to your blog post</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can ask a question about blogging</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can post jokes</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can post funny pictures </span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can jump right in and take over if you want ..<font size="2">well only if you are sick of me posting all the time</font></span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Remember we aren't anonymous on Multiply but on our Blogger page you can comment anonymously if you want, point is that we don't actually want you to be anonymous and lurk the whole point of BA is to get yourself out there and show the world how addicted you realy are and how well can you blog!</span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Prove how good you are</span> start posting on BA .... or that wet banana army might start marching </span><br style="font-family: Verdana;"><font

on Commenting<span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >For some, blogging is not as easy as it may sound. Whenever you break it down to issues such as how to get readers to your blog, how to get them to comment, and then what to do with the negative comments, it can be quite a challenge.
