# 3. Blog Essentials - Font Size and Style

Most web designers agree that a 12-14 pt font is best. You can use up to 3-4
different font sizes throughout your blog. More than that and it looks
junky.

When choosing a font style, keep it simple and avoid the fancy fonts. Know
that not all computers can display all fonts. Choose fonts that are
considered "Web Font Safe." These are available on most computers.

Examples of Web Font Safe fonts are: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Geneva and
Veranda. These fonts are san-serif, fonts that do not have little hooks or
serifs on the end of the letters. Not having these hooks makes it easier to
read the text on our computer monitors.

Have you noticed? I have the "hooks" at the end of each letter. The hooks
almost make the lettering look like script. I knew something was off but not
until I was researching material for this blog did I realize what the
problem was.

So with my next blog you will see san-serif fonts with the help of my
virtual assistant. With the purchase of the Pro Blog Academy modules, I
received 40 hours of free "virtual assistance" as a bonus!

If you have any questions or comments please contact me.
