In this article we are not talking about the rules of online writing, but about typography , a topic that I addressed in the writing for the web course , although now I talk about it in more depth. These are some measures that will improve the readability of the posts . Before we start writing for a blog, we need to think that what we write will be read. And if we want readers to increase, we must make sure that they can read our posts without any difficulty. Spacing between paragraphs One of the rules of online writing is to use paragraphs rather than showing the text in a single block.
But it is not enough to separate passages of text with paragraphs, there must also be the right space between paragraph and paragraph. I leave 10 pixels, so the reader finds small blocks of text that are not scary, but above all allow you to keep your mark and not get lost between the lines. Indentation Indentation is used in printed media. The first word is indented to the Phone Number Data right at the beginning of the paragraph. Perhaps in this case it is useful because there are no spaces between paragraphs and the indentation communicates to the reader that a new period is starting. I also use it in my online texts, because I think it breaks up the text even more, giving a sort of apparent movement against the static nature of the symmetrical blocks.
Line spacing Leading is the space between lines. It is very clear that lines that are too close together make the text almost incomprehensible, just as lines that are too far apart are an exaggeration that risks disorientating the reader. I don't always use the same value for the leading, because it depends on the type of font I use and its size. It is therefore necessary to carry out experiments until we find the value that seems most suitable to us. Text color and page background On this point I am very rigid and categorical: black and white. It is the combination of maximum readability , even if in the accessible versions of many sites the yellow on black combination is used, but to me, honestly, it really bothers the eyes to read on black backgrounds. ge and not the content. But even in that case I used highly readable values . In this regard, I recommend you experiment with the Color Contrast Checker tool .
