Oh for...

...fuck's sake.

You do not code your layout to have a white background with grey/light grey text, dammit. And not in a font sized 9pt or possibly smaller! I know you can have LJ show you the pages in a different layout, but it's still no excuse for being lazy assed bitch and not learning how to code properly!

And if you have white text on black background, please, don't use such small font! It looks like blobs even on a good monitor.

Really, someone should sit down and explain to people how you do a readable LJ layout. Sure, mine's not always brilliant, but I do try to make it readable.

No, red on grey is eyewateringly bad too!

Oh, that is all kinds of fail. Do these authors even look at their own journals?!

I ...don't know. Seriously, they can't possibly have checked it or they'd have noticed. Surely!

I know it's not the first time I've ranted about it, nor will it probably be the last, but... owie, eyesore. I used to think that myspace layouts were bad. I wonder if they're users coming from MySpace and taking all their bad habits with them?

What you said. Of course, I have bad eyes so I always adjust my browser to allow me to change font sizes at will, so I don't get it quite as much, but there are still some sites that you just can't adjust the font up enough...

I don't have a particularly bad eyesight, but I feel for those of you who run into such problems a lot more.

It's very annoying when people do that. While you can tell you browser to ignore the page settings, if they used a bit of sense, you wouldn'r need to...

Exactly!

It's as if, these days, people don't think when they code the layout. I mean, the least you can do is stop to wonder if maybe you're wrenching someone's eyes out of their sockets XD
