D+ for the presentation but the content gets an A. It really is a nice overview of the options without being overly prescriptive about what option to pick.

Disagree. Reminds me of the old, cute (and still useful) internet (geocities, web rings etc).

Not just comic sans. It's that dog, the image, the meme too. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the author said "what can I do that will irritate people the most". I'm partially complaining because it irritated me (out of selfishness), but mostly saying "why would you do that?" (out of curiosity).

>why would you do that? Why not? Just because the personality of the author disagrees with your sensibilities you have to appose them to the point other people have to read a comment concerning your self irritation to the authors style of presentation. If you feel content shouldn't be on this website you can downvote it. Edit1: Don't flag on-topic subjects (sorry mods)

I thought it had been done intentionally to make a point. Maybe I'm wrong and the author just likes dogs and comic sans. I thought it was an interesting avenue for discussion.

Why do you associate my asking questions with wanting to censor things? I don't. I'm perfectly happy with this page being on the web and this discussion existing.

I just thought it would be interesting to find out why it is the way it is.

I challenge your need to share selfish pointless opinions that don't contribute to the subject matter at hand. But then in a way I do advocate censorship, namely that of your off topic opinions.

Comic Sans is an awesome font. People act like it is an attack on their eyes, but harder to read fonts make information easier to retain: http://www.futurity.org/hard-to-read-fonts-easier-to-retain/ A quote from that: "Those who read about the aliens in an easy-to-read font (16-point Arial pure black) answered correctly 72.8 percent of the time, compared to 86.5 percent of those who reviewed the material in hard-to-r…

Comic sans is one thing, an extremely light cursive script is another. It's not hard to read, it's impossible.

Plus eleventy. I wanted to read it but couldn't after a couple of paragraphs. It forced me to look into how I can adjust fonts to my liking, which isn't something you want as an author. So annoyed, much confusion

This is a subject I really want to know about. But the presentation of this this page is (no better word for it) obnoxious. I wonder why the author did it. Annoyingly the 'reader' feature of Safari doesn't work on this page.

The author didn't even have the decency to make it Comic Sans. Edit: guess this is an iOS issue...

The font stack is "Comic Sans MS",cursive,sans-serif so if you don't have Comic Sans, your browser picks a font described as "cursive" and then falls back to the default sans font.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I really can't see past Comic Sans to read the actual content.

Safari and Firefox have "reader mode" buttons built-in. Chrome has one too, but you have to enable it. For the desktop version, add --enable-dom-distiller on the command line. For the mobile version, chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode-toolbar-icon

I just read it, so it isn't impossible.
