a blog about 'the Arab street'

Date: June 16, 2003 | 15 Rabi al-Akhir 1424 Hijriah
Subjects: muslim, blogs
Thanks to the wonders of Technorati, I found The Arab Street Files so soon after it started that I was the number two visitor, according to the hit counter. It's got me listed as a "link that isn't stupid" (hey, I take it where I can get it).

The blog says it's going to be "Occasional reflections & musings on what is really said on the mythical "Arab street", by someone who lives there". The author, Arab Street Bum, has posts up about the recent shootout with militants in Mecca and about Hamas. It'll be interesting to see where this blog goes.

Do you mean on the front page of muhajabah.com? That's the only page that's like that. The rest of the site should have normal size fonts, inshallah. I've tested it with IE and Mozilla.

Several months ago, I worked with a visitor who asked me to make some changes so that the site is more accessible for him because he has bad eyesight. The way it's done now, you can change the text size in your browser if you feel that the type is too small. Before, it was fixed size and would not change with the browser settings. I have viewed the blog on a variety of browsers and computers and find that as long as the text size in the browser is set to Medium or the equivalent, it comes out a reasonable size, about 10pt. Most people are able to read 10pt text without difficulty and yours is the only complaint that I've received since I made the changes, even though I get about 150 visitors a day.

I am not averse to making changes if some of my visitors genuinely have trouble reading the site; however as long as it is accessible to most visitors (which it should be at 10pt) and those visitors with special needs are able to make adjustments through their browsers, I am not likely to change the design. I might be able to add a control panel allowing visitors to change the font size as it appears on their own computer, or an alternate version like my low-graphics version, but that's all.

Sorry to be so witchy about this, but that's the way I feel.

OK, just for you I spent an hour looking for accessibility tips using Google and have made a slight modification that accounts for browser bugs (there always are some of course). Does it look better now?

Aww! I didn't actually change the font size; I just added some code so that your browser actually reads the font size that I intended wink

But as for the typeface, I'm going to stick with Arial, inshallah.

Your blog looks very nice, mashallah. smile
