Yes, I do... when type is too small, not enough white space, etc. If it's too hard on the eyes and I have to work too hard to read some, it's "next" for me.

Shanna Hall A while back some bloggers got carried away with using different colors. Haven't seen that lately. Usually, if the font is too small I will move on to the next post.

No, not really.  If it is small I just enlarge it with 2 fingers and Poof, it is perfect.  Works on ipad, iphone and my touch screen pc.

Yes & if there are no pics to break up the wall of words - even sooner.

With Wordpress there is a default which is light grey & it's so annoying & 1/2 the time doesn't show well on phones. I just skip the whole thing all together. I'm sure the authors do not even think about this.

Here on AR I change the font color from grey to black for that reason.
