I actually write in arial 8 or even 6. I zoom up so the entire page is filled with text. I like to have a maximum of what I write on it. It's mostly for an easy check that I'm not repeating the same adjectives or verbs all the time, if I'm not using the character's name too much and to see the looks of my paragraphs next to each other. And that, when you copy paste it in LJ, gives you ridiculously tiny font. So you have the choice of pasting it in the htlm tab and going back to add < i >and < b > tags when needed. *huff* This is why I love AO3. ^^ I like Tahoma too, they're pretty similar. One thing I CANNOT write in, is Times New Roman. I mean, I could for a formal letter or something, but if it's beyond a couple of hundred words, it just bugs be cause if I do my tiny font + zoom technique it just doesn't look good in small font.
I'm not a pro at CSS, but it's amazing how much you learn just by fiddling around with your layout. The one I had previously (with the "Payback's a bitch" Jerk BITCH header), I didn't make, I'm far from having the inspiration for that, but I picked the fonts and the colors and the tiny images that represented 'location' 'music' 'mood', etc... The one I have now... is annoying. But I don't have time for it now. I also made my moodtheme. Because I love Parker so much. ^^
You learn a lot for that. And painlessly. It's also how I learned my English. I took German in Highschool. I never studied. I cannot speak a word of it. Well, maybe one word. HALLO! My English? I owe it to Buffy. (Again)
EDIT: See? Learning again. You don't even have to finish a html tag for it to be taken into account in a LJ comment. *takes note*
