Google emailed again in reply. Not sure if this will work. Let's see if I can see it. Not sure how I like it or what I did. Thank you Google for your help.

Hi Frances,

It works this way. If you leave the font-size in its default setting while composing a post, it'll be bound to the size that you define under Dashboard - Template - Customize - Advanced - Page. Otherwise, if you've changed the font-size while composing a post, it will follow the specific size that you have selected for that particular post instead. I usually won't temper with the font-size in the post editor, as I prefer to apply a uniform rule using the 'Advanced' tab.

Cheers,
Yoga.

GOOGLE REPLIED TO MY QUESTION

I sent an email to Google about the font size issue. They replied within an hour. Here is there reply but I checked the design section but the font size within the post wasn't listed. I asked them to check into it and I will try to look at the settings again. Hi Frances, You should be able to change your font-size by going to Dashboard - Templates - Customize - Advanced. You can customize the font-size for each section.

NEW BLOGSPOT

I've been blogger for a few years now and Google changed the design of BlogSpot. I'm writing this post to see what my text looks like. I tried to call Google but they don't have a "live" or real people who answer the phones in their Customer Department. I hope I'll find a solution to the dilemma.

WALMART'S CRAZY RETURN POLICY

I have a grip about Walmart. They don't accept returns on books or magazine  after 24 hours plus you have to have your receipt. I bought a book in Oxford which I thought I could read with my 5x magnifier but the pages were tinted on the edges. I went to return it without knowing their policies. I asked "How would I know about the 24 hours. It's not posted anywhere".  I explained that if I went to look for the receipt I might not be able to return the same day since I don't drive. I got no sympathy. So I called my son who was home to look in my suitcase and bags from the trip. He did find it and brought it to me. It wasn't the money but the principle of the policy. I wouldn't read something and return it for credit. I did notice the associate looking at the binder to see if I read it. Most trips I make to the store result in an item having to be returned. I often pick up the wrong item.

Audio Books For Those With Vision Loss

Many people with macular degeneration or other types of vision loss, will alternate from reading their favorite books to listening to their favorite books. Sometimes, listening is a welcome change to the strain of trying to read. Simply find yourself a comfortable spot to sit, put up your feet, close your eyes, and listen.
Audio Book Devices
There are several different audio devices that can be used, depending on the type of technology that works best for you. It can be anything from an old cassette player, CD player, MP3 player, iPod, iPhone or an electronic reader. Books on tape are not available from stores any more, although you may find used ones on line or perhaps at your local library. If you, your friend or loved one has not entered the digital age, like my father-in-law who has wet macular degeneration, books on CD are a great alternative. CD players are inexpensive and small enough to be portable. Free books on CD are available from many local libraries and depending on your branch, may even mail them to you.
An iPod, iPhone, or  MP3 player can be used to listen to your books. The touch screens make them easy to navigate and there are many more options for audio books on line than there are CD’s.
Free talking books are available from cooperating library services to U.S. residents and citizens living abroad whose macular degeneration or other vision impairment makes it difficult to read standard print.  The local cooperating U. S. libraries mail the audiobooks, magazines, and audio equipment directly to enrollees at no cost.

Audio Book Quality

There are different levels of audio book quality – depending on the reader, the recording equipment and the studio. Purchased audio books are read by professional performers and you will find that the quality of the reader makes listening to audio books more enjoyable.  Most free audio books use volunteer readers, some of which are really good and some are well, a bit boring.

Audio Book Costs

There are several ways to help reduce the cost of listening to your audio books.  Books on CD clubs, free talking books, or downloaded books all provide every genre of books available. Purchasing books on CD is the most expensive. Call your local library to see what kind of selection they offer and if they provide any type of delivery service.  You or your loved one may qualify for free books on tape through  the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. The reading device and audio books are delivered to eligible readers by postage-free mail and are returned in the same manner.
