http://live.pirillo.com/ - Sometimes websites are just designed poorly. Sure, the colors, grammar, and positioning might be fine, but the font size may be horrible. Community member Lin has run into the problem on more than one occasion. Thankfully, there are a few things she can do to help her read websites will small font sizes.First, you can usually increase the font size of a website by 150% or more with a keyboard shortcut or through the web browsers options.Another option is to use bookmarklets. These are small pieces of javascript that can be saved to your favorites or bookmarks folder in your browser. When you access these scripts they will automatically be applied top the current website you're viewing.Some bookmarklets include being able to change the background image (remove it entirely) or increase the font size.Do you have any suggestions for dealing with bad web design?Want to embed our Website Design and Legibility video in your blog?
