Reading Blog posts on iPad

Submitted by aideen on Wed, 12/12/2012 - 10:14

Hi,

This is one of my favourite sites but I struggle a bit when trying to read the Blog posts on an iPad (can't resize the text). Am I missing something? Is there an easy answer?

Thanks.

no, the css of the page thinks that on a tablet you don't need to resize text.

There is a cludge of a workaround.

If you download the the Opera Mini Web Browser. Click on the large red O (top left) , theres a zoom option under settings.

Increase the zoom, reload the page and hey presto the text is larger.

Sorry to hear. This must be a google blogger issue rather than an issue specifically to our site. 

Try openenergymonitor.blogspot.com/?m=1, works well on my Android tablet. I'm afraid I don't know anyone with an ipad to test.

glyn,  the ?m=1 trick doesn't work on an ipad or on an iphone to allow you to enlarge the text.

Hi Glyn,

You're right about it being a generic Blogger issue (though more specifically, a Blogger template issue). Some of the Blogger templates do result in realizable text - e.g. 'Simple' seems to be a popular one. However I know this is a 'suits-me' issue :-) and I did find a reasonable workaround using Instapaper.

Thanks, Aideen
