I started looking through the questionnaires on BIC and found myself unable to slog through the morass of white on blue gray with no highlighting to separate the questions from the answers. White font is OK in small bytes of content, but in this case I longed for a Punaweb look of dark font on light background, or good old fashioned print contrast.
I think that the candidates' awareness of formatting and layout could make a big difference here, and as part of a level playing field, the editor should have formatted them all the same. They can't see what their entry will look like until after they submit, one weakness with a blog.
Leilani put her answers in ALL CAPS. OMG that is unreadable, and she should have known better than to do that.
Karen Eoff's and Tiffany's were the first two posted, and they had bold headlines and question text so that the post has some visual structure. I found that much better. I'm not sure why Alan did all the rest in plain font without formatting. A fix would be most welcome.
