Bold is Beautiful

Bold is back and it’s beautiful.

Maybe not beautiful, but easier to read. My blog has experienced growing pains the past couple weeks. If you logged the other day, my postings looked like THIS.

I was hunched over my Vaio, obsessing over size, font, and those little tabs that emphasize bold, italics, and underline. Then I grabbed my husband’s hand, pulled him to my side, and pestered him: “Which one looks better? This or this? Huh? Huh?

The whole scenario reminded me of my first blind date.

I was in college, in a little apartment that I shared with three girls, sprucing myself up. One of my roommates was sitting on the bed and I could not decide which pair of earrings to wear. Gold hoops or fake pearls? Acorn studs or dangling fish? Ooo, I know! What about those hand painted hearts my mom gave me for Christmas?

Exasperated, my roommate finally said: “It doesn’t matter!”

She was trying to say that looks only go so far. Love is a matter of the heart, not the earlobe.

I suppose I can translate that lesson here. So I’m just going to pick – bold – and remind myself that blogs are a matter of content, not font.

By the way, do you like the (almost) daily postings or the once a week postings? Because on the one hand . . . oh, nevermind!
