Thank you for saying I post interesting things :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-72736100067383822432012-01-30T20:40:22.956+01:002012-01-30T20:40:22.956+01:00I have absolutely no idea how I missed this post b...I have absolutely no idea how I missed this post because I've been following even though I was away for a few days. So I have returned to change.<br /><br />Frankly so long as you keep blogging the interesting things you post then I'm a happy bunny. I love the unpredictability of what I may read when I open up your latest post. I don't hanker after organisation in blogs.<br /><br />I never look at my statistics. I must do that. Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />For those who want larger fonts (provided the base font is not toooo tiny) then the easiest thing is for the reader to enlarge the font on their own computer which can be done for any individual blog or page simply by pressing cmd + (on a Mac) or, I think, ctrl + on Windows. Using the - instead of the + reduces the font size.<br /><br />Labels are very useful.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-84933290526757110082012-01-29T18:29:15.023+01:002012-01-29T18:29:15.023+01:00Thank you, Elizabeth!

Yes, I have noticed the change in font size on your blog, and it really is a lot more easy for my eyes :-)<br />As for # 2 and 3: it's done - I worked it out on my own (just never thought this could be what the "labels" feature is all about) and spent a good part of Saturday morning labelling ALL my 241 posts.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-3366958795570701132012-01-29T18:00:46.881+01:002012-01-29T18:00:46.881+01:001) The type right now seems to be a great size (bt...1) The type right now seems to be a great size (btw, thanks for comment on my blog about the type being small when I changed templates. it was really helpful feedback. I have now kept my font size to large - hope it is easier to see). <br />2)Sure, if you want. <br />3)They only way I know how is a bit time consuming unless you have tagged each post under a name (like recipe, book, etc). If you have 'labeled' your posts then all you need to do is go to the design template. Add Gadget & there should be an option for posts. <br /> <br />Congrats on all your hard work! <br />eAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794767968612119814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-59162182953987566202012-01-29T08:59:29.783+01:002012-01-29T08:59:29.783+01:00Indeed you were one of my first regulars, Julie, a...Indeed you were one of my first regulars, Julie, and I am always pleased to "see" you here!

Your blog is very user friendly and always interesting to read. I will try to comment more so you know I am here! The font could be bigger but I have found that it is hard to get a good size, the next size available is too big.
