format. I've passed your comments onto the team responsible for
managing that site. Thanks for the feedback - the copy is very dense!

if it's for personal enjoyment, is definitely a plus for evaluation.

Hi,

I just have a quick question as I'm somewhat puzzled by Effective Ui
blog. 

The spacing between the text is so crowded and the font so small that
even the blog posts say wonderful things, it's basically unreadable. 

Is it on purpose so that users subscribe to read the text? Or you
rely on the fact that people make the font readable from their
browser?
