values instead of HTTPS. I plan to fix that as soon as I can find the time to do a full DB backup and then an SQL find-and-replace, but until then, sadly, there will be warnings on some pages.
]]>I just came back to add your RSS feed to my reader again.
One thing I noted when coming to this side using my web browser was a Mixed Content warning.
I was about to comment.
Maybe you can use Screaming Frog to get an overview about where there are references to update? It is free-of-charge for up to 1000 URLs if I am not mistaken.
Looks great so far!
]]>I look at probably 20 or so blogs routinely every am – you and MA.TT have the same font size and are the smallest of all of them and difficult to read. Today, I grabbed 4 of the blogs still on the screen when I hit yours and opened them all on the same screen to get an actual comparison. I took a screen print so you could see how small yours is compared to others. Unfortunately, I don’t see any method of attaching something to the comment or an email. I’ve got it if you’d like to see it.
In the effort, I discovered that Chris Coyier actually uses your font size IF the screen is set for the size of a phone. Perhaps that is what you are doing. In fact, if I read your blog on my small phone screen it is more toward the size I expect. As I remember, after one of his many iterations of themes, Chris’s font size dropped dramatically and I commented on that too. Within a week me made several enhancements not only to the size but also honed on on a font that was more readable. I do notice now that he alters font size at several breakpoints. Others, I notice, don’t have breakpoints but use a size more readable on desktop screens.
I admit, I don’t have young eyes anymore and I wouldn’t be noodging like this–usually if the author doesn’t see a problem I just let it go–but, I see that you’ve written several posts and seem concerned about accessibility a lot. It just seems to me that simple font size is up there at the top of the accessibility list [unless phone-only is what you are going for, of course]
[I almost forgot – no, emptying the cache is one of the first things I’ve learned to do when I see something that others do not; so, don’t think there are any left over scripts interfering. Thanks for your efforts]
]]>Oh, can add that I just tried it in IE side by side and it does render slightly larger in IE! If that makes any sense to you. (Still could be larger however for a desktop screen)
]]>Thanks, Sam!
]]>Thanks, Ian! Check out the masthead text sizing as well: used a calc()
to give it an em-based floor and then a vh-based scale-up, based on a suggestion by Martijn Cuppens (see https://twitter.com/Martijn_Cuppens/status/944595750889185280).

I seem to recall you had the same complaint about the previous design, which was also not set to be particularly small. Any chance you have user style sheets hanging around that interact badly with my site?
