My Poor Eyes

There's something that has been on my mind for awhile now and It's time to get it off my chest. While I love checking out other folks' blogs and see what they are up to, I do have a pet peeve about some blogs. What is it you might wonder? Well, it's the ones where the print on their blog is so light that I can barely see it. I know some of these are even top rated blogs and they have tons of followers, but when their pages look like my printouts do when my printer is almost out of ink I just have to pass it by.
What's the deal now days? It seems like more and more websites are using print so light that older people with poor eyesight can't even begin to read it. I try to make sure my websites have dark enough print to be able to see it without causing anyone eye strain.

I'll admit my eyesight isn't the greatest. I've worn glasses or contacts since I was 12 years old and today I am nearly blind in my left eye, which makes it even more difficult to read.
In the case of choosing a font for your website, keep in mind those of us who strain to read your posts. "Lighten up" is not always a good thing!
What are your thoughts? Does anyone else have trouble with the light print on websites or is it just me? Would love to hear your opinion. Thanks for reading!
