Good point, Dave. Lately I've been using an app called Readable that restricts line length and lets you set things like font size. It doesn't allow a setting for line-height, but it makes reading on the web very easy.

I did some research on readability a few years ago, and one of the interesting things I learned is that, to preserve readability, longer lines require taller line-height. If the box of text is not very wide, your line-height probably won’t need to be as tall.

Virginia, thanks for this. I finally decided I was going to start customizing my own templates a little at a time rather than pay someone to do redesigns, so it will be a good first step to evaluate each of my blogs for their line height and see if they could benefit from changes. .-= Skye´s last blog ..In The Days After The Slaughter =-.

I find line-height to be a huge factor in whether I stay around at a site and actually read anything.

Sites where the lines are too close together just lose me immediately.

Thanks for this tip.
