I'm in the process (protracted, sure) of redesigning this site. Comments--and criticisms especially--are welcome. That said, if you are a sighted user, ARIA should have zero effect on how you use the web. It doesn't impact typeface, leading, weight, or size. It works under the covers, giving cues to assistive devices about how to present a page. @GF – thanks for the feedback on the usability of the comment post.

I want whatever comes to me to allow my browser to display the text in a font of my choice and all I see here is a concatenation of complexities that seem to make it impossible, Would it be possible to give the recipient a choice of rich delivery or simple? Some emails let my browser make the switch, others don't. Plese work on it. There are lots of us that beed a switch to a bolder font. Please make it possible, automatically or by offering a chioce. And BTW, this text entry box is at my visual limit; vert hard to read. Th body text of the blog os perfect. ===gm=== This scares me.
