Blogger Usability Improvements

Description:

This style tries to address some of the accessibility issues introduced with the "new" blogger interface introduced by Google in 2011/2012. The low contrast and generous spacing, among other things, makes the interface very hard to use for users with visual and/or information processing problems. Some users report getting headaches from trying to work with it.

Google has largely ignored the concerns of such users. Which, to my mind, is a good reason to not use blogger (whether you personally have the problem or not), but some users have invested a lot of work into making their blog work on blogger, and don't have the time, energy, or http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/wpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BYDLS-TheSpoonTheory.pdf to look for another solution and recreate their templates, import their old posts, and so forth.

This style is for all these people. It tries to make things better by making them look more like the "old" blogger interface.

This style is not my work. It really was created by a number of people (excluding me) working together with http://www.anamardoll.com/ to make posting/managing her blogger weblog possible again after Google removed the option to use the old interface. These are the people who did the work, I merely tinkered with it to make it work with Stylish. For details, see http://www.anamardoll.com/2012/09/metapost-new-old-blogger-interface.html, which also includes instructions for an alternative way to use this style, which allows you to make adjustments without knowing CSS.
