Btw, your articles always come in with a 14px font, and I have to change them to 13px. I added a new "dagblog:13" option to the font-size selector in the toolbar. In the future, would you mind highlighting the text and selecting 13px font when you post? Thanks.</p> <p>Nice piece, btw.</p> </div></div></div> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:35:12 +0000 Michael Wolraich comment 142335 at http://dagblog.com Thanks for the trimmings. http://dagblog.com/comment/142332#comment-142332 <a id="comment-142332"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/turd-blossom-economy-12381">A turd blossom economy.</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><span style="font-size: 14px">Thanks for the trimmings.</span></p> </div></div></div> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:16:21 +0000 Oxy Mora comment 142332 at http://dagblog.com
