A reader e-mailed me a couple of months back and told me that the text of blog posts in my Feedburner e-mail feeds was too small to read.  Being the ignorant webmaster I am, I checked it out, and the text was, indeed, very small . . . a size 8 font, I think.

So, being the diligent Google researcher than I am, I jumped onto the big G, and I tried to find a way to fix this because the Feedburner site wasn’t very helpful.

Lo and behold, I found a blog post that was on point.  Ben Yoskovitz from the Instigator Blog explained how to fix this in a post entitled Your Feedburner Email Subscriptions May Be Unreadable. 

The steps he gave were as follows:

1) Log into FeedBurner, and then click on Publicize.

2) Click on E-mail Subscriptions in the left-hand column.

3) In the new page, click on Email Branding (which is very small and on the bottom right).

4) On the options that are displayed, change the headline size and body text size to your preferences.

5) Click on Save at the bottom.

Ben notes that “[m]aybe [he's] the last person to know about these options but they’re fairly hidden inside FeedBurner.”  Nope, Ben.  I have to be the last person to learn about this!
