The colors +are tweaked to a palette that's pleasing to my eyes and doesn't cause strain. +The font family, font size, and other elements are customizable and configured +exactly how I like them. + +I can't tell you how many times I've opened a great blog post and struggled to +read it and had to enable Reader Mode in my browser just to get through it. + +HTML is great because it's a structured markup where we can disregard the web +server's custom styles and apply our own. In fact, there are whole communities +around custom style sheets to mold the web into your own comfortable space. + +Sure, there are great looking blogs out there. But honestly? There are far more +poorly-styled blogs or blogs that are fine, but conflict with my own sense of +style or eye comfort. + +Keep it up, RSS. Thanks for shielding me from visual discomfort and flashing +yellow text on purple backgrouunds. |
