This blog will detail my adventures working the night shift in a City Jail in a high crime rate city. No privacy, either co-workers or defendants will be violated and I will never use real names. Some of my postings may be funny, some may be just venting, some may be mundane while some may be heartbreaking. It is all in a day's work for me, and hopefully will educate some people. As always, all opinions expressed are mine and mine alone and do not reflect or represent the agency I work for.

Format
I played around with the format a little, let me know what you all think. I tried to darken the purple of the text and make it a little bigger, so hopefully it will make it easier to read.
Just wandered over here from Momma Fargo's place, so as a newcomer, my opinion may not mean much, but really, the purple on black does make it hard to read. Especially at work when it's obvious I'm reading a blog instead of doing some sort of necessary research. :)
I'm glad to see a font size big enough to read, but I've got to agree with the others that the colour combination kind of stabs at the eyeballs a little.
I'm your newest fan; I was drawn by your blog title - I just had to find out if you were a screw or a con. Listen to me, all prison lingo. It's okay, my family is in the business. My husband says screw & con are more the terms used before my dad retired, and that they now call the prisoners pukes and the pukes call the good guys goofs. Aaaaannyways...
So I've added AJMA to the blogroll over @ Venom, Secrets, & Lies under the header 'All & Sundry Poisons'. I'd be tickled if you'd stop by and check it sometime.
Love it.. if you do your posts in Blogger draft.. you have more choices for your fonts. You can really get fancy there.. You can also find it under template--advanced..If you check out my two blogs you will see what I'm talking about. and I'm off to check it out..
For old people like me with glasses, the purple against the black background is hard on the eyes and difficult to read.
ReplyDeleteI can live with the purple, and I'm so old I remember when Moby Dick was a guppie. But I do appreciate the larger font. Thanks for the effort.
ReplyDeleteBigger is better *snort*
ReplyDeleteThe font size looks good and I love purple :O)

ReplyDeleteBigger font is definitely better, but I agree that the black/purple is a little difficult to read.
