Improving Your Post Readability

Adjusting the White Space

Finding the right balance between too much and too little space around text is one of the essential aspects of a readable website. Remember that your chunks of text content need room to breathe so that your visitors can view them more easily. Adjusting the line-height of your post’s paragraphs can make it easier for the eye reading left-to-right.

Spacing Around the Images

Your text shouldn’t be adhered to other elements, particularly images. When the text is ‘touching’ the images, it can look confusing to the reader and clutter your layout.

Spend a few minutes during your morning coffee looking over your website to make sure it’s optimized for readability, and if you see any problems, try increasing your padding and margins, adjusting font color and size, or content and background contrast.
