Current Mood: Erm…

Lately I can’t help but notice that more and more sites are being written in infinitessimally small type! Seriously–it’s no bigger than font size 1, and I’m sure some are coding in px (pixels) so they can get it even more miniscule.

What’s with them? Are they so unsure of themselves that they wish their words would disappear into the background? Don’t they want people to be able to read what they have to say??

Or is it something more sinister? Perhaps they have a secret deal with the reading-glasses manufacturers of the world. Maybe they want to convince people that they can’t see, and then the ad for glasses will “concidentally” appear later…

Or maybe they’re just following the latest STUPID design trend.
In any case, I always use FireFox to enlarge the font back to something reasonable–if I bother to stay on the site. But it’s nonsense to make readers do that. And readers won’t bother staying if they can go to a decently-designed site and get the info there!
