One thing about web design is that you design the site with an idea for how you want it to look, and you allow people the flexibility of adjusting the font size if they choose. I like the way it looks on my screen, and I design with relative font sizes, so that users like you can adjust as you see fit. That's what you're supposed to do! You may also want to check your default font size in your browser. Bill, I’ve been editing my site almost constantly all week, so it is possible I’ve changed the font size since you visited.

Unfortunately, it does not seem to have helped me at home. However, I am better than I was last year at this time...scary thought. Laura,

Ease of use, visual appeal, and However, I think this can also be an easy trap to fall into, and works against some of the lessons on being critical we learn even at early ages (Don't judge a book by its cover coming to mind here). This isn't to say design isn't important, but rather we must remain wary of its influence. I agree with you, it is both tempting and satisfactory to stick with websites that look nice.

Rozenwig and Cohen's site for "Doing Digital History" was good, but I hated that you had to go back to the main menu for each chapter to get to the next section of the chapter. I couldn't help but appreciate the irony that a majority of the sites I've been directed to for reading in both Clios would fail the "attractive site test." :) I think the most attractive site I’ve been directed too thus far for both Clio Wireds is Luke Wroblewski.
