On the Internet, a completely different set of rules apply for written information than for physically printed material. These new rules can make the difference in whether your readers actually persist in reading your emails, blog pages, forum posts, and web pages -- or, whether they click away quickly in frustration because your material is just too hard on the eyes to easily read.
Remember these important facts:

- Light text on dark backgrounds is VERY difficult to read.
- White space is GOOD!
- Looooong paragraphs are too hard to easily understand while reading on the Internet.
Look from the eye of the beholder at your web site pages, your posts in your blog(s), or your posts on discussion forums. Ask yourself the following questions:

Personally, I usually try to remember to create manual line breaks by hitting my “Enter” key where I want my lines to end, so that my text is easier to read. I also do that when writing emails, so that the emails I write also are much easier to read.
Yes, doing that is more work for me! However, if I am already going to the effort of creating a message in the first place, I want to make it more likely that people will actually read it and (hopefully) benefit from it!
By making my emails, web pages, blogs, and posts to forums easier to read, I can be sure that more people will actually get my message and follow through to explore more of what I have to offer... leading to more sales and profits from my various promotions!
And that feels really good, making worth any extra effort I make to improve the presentatoin of my messages on the Internet!
