BOB's Tuesday Toast - 4/30/13

Here’s to Quilt Bloggers -

Who use light colors for the words on their blogs -
With little or no contrast with the background -
Making them difficult to read, too -

May they someday learn the value of contrast -
And never need tri-focals either - ;))

===

I may have a fix for this one -

It’s a bit more complicated -

Than the one I told you about last week -

And may or may not work on your computer -
I have Firefox - and if you don't - it may not work -

But here goes - ;))

At the top left of your screen should be a list -

File - Edit - View - History - Bookmarks - Tools - Help

Choose Tools -
You should get a drop-down box with another list -

Choose Options -
That should take you to another box with tabs across the top -

General - Tabs - Content - Applications - Privacy - Security - Sync - Advanced

Choose Content -
You should get another box with a list of stuff -

In the middle of this list is - Fonts and Colors -
And to the right of this are two choices - Advanced and Colors -

Choose Colors -
You can change the colors for the items shown -
By clicking on the color box and then clicking on a different color -

But you’re looking for the box and line at the bottom that says -
- (Box) - Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above

EUREKA!!

UNCHECK that box -

Click on OK at the bottom -
That should take you back to the Option Box -

Click on OK again -
That should take you back to where you were -

And the pages will NOT be allowed to choose their own colors, instead of your selections - ;))

This should obliterate any weird textures -

Or funky backgrounds -

On some blogs -

But it should also obliterate -

All of the COOL colors and backgrounds -

On others -

So to change it back to “Normal” -

Go to Tools - Options - Content - Colors - and CHECK the box -
To ALLOW pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above

Then click OK - OK -
To get back to where you were - ;))

This sounds harder than it actually is -

And may be a hassle -

But it IS an option - ;))

And - it may not help with the blogs -

That have moving and/or scrolling bits - ;))

All I can say is -

Some blogs are REALLY hard to read -

And -

I - for one - WON’T read it -

If I CAN’T read it -

Unless I REALLY like your blog -

And then maybe I will - ;))



But then again - it’s probably just me - ;))
