		<description>Thank you for such a validating comment! Does the text size issue apply for you only on importantmedia.org (such as my &quot;Bright spots&quot; post), or when you read an article on any of our specific sites, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://planetsave.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;planetsave.com&lt;/a&gt;? Cheers!</description>

		<description>I just finished your post titled &quot;Bright spots in a dark time&quot;, and think you&#039;ve summarized very accurately the issues with Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org, for those of us who&#039;d really rather be a writer, not a web developer. Also, your post was one of the ONLY times I&#039;ve seen Wordpress.com (which I use), explicitly mentioned in a critique, which I did appreciate!

Now for some feed back for your beta site redesign. The typeface and font size combination you&#039;ve chosen renders very small. It seems equivalent to about an 8pt Trebuchet. I have Google Chrome browser set for low sight, which is describes my vision, but set to the least powerful of  several levels offered (note I&#039;m not referring to 150% or 200% magnification, this is a feature specific for accessibility). Even with that activated, it is hard for me to read the posts on importantmedia&#039;s site. (I noticed that the comment text is larger though).

Also, by comparison, most other websites are adequately or oven overly large with my current low sight setting. That is why I think text on your site is really on the small side, else I wouldn&#039;t mention anything. Just a thought, as you DID ask for feedback. Otherwise, everything is great! No broken links, pages load quickly, widgets work, all seems in good shape!</description>

		<description>Hi Geoff! You can see our network in action at any of the 16 websites listed and linked to in the &quot;Sites&quot; list linked at the top of this page. Each site is run in a pretty decentralized way, with the community platform supporting the common elements of each of those 16 sites. Organism looks very interesting as well -- we&#039;re just starting from an existing set of assumptions and iterating on the fly, without trying to revolutionize any single angle.</description>

		<description>&quot;One need look no further than watching TV reporters point the camera at their MacBook Pro as they read tweets live as they appear in the stream.&quot; Absolutely true. Web 2.0 has brought a wave of exciting new function to the web, but design has lagged. I would like to SEE more of your proposed/existing service.</description>

		<description>Much appreciated, David, and great write-up on what our network offers.

Comment I left on Facebook about this

-- one of the most satisfying points of my blogging career to have thousands of overly grateful parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, grandchildren, and more totally relieved from reading my post -- and days later, I&#039;m finally getting comments from people confirming that everything is/was OK in Okinawa. Lucky I could find a source there saying so early on when no one else seemed to be covering this topic so important to so many people. &amp; lucky our network is so well-optimized for Google search that people could find the info on our blog.</description>
