Writing a blog is easy. Styling a blog so it feels good takes more care. In this article we’ll walk through a set of practical considerations to help your blog look polished, perform well, and stay maintainable.

1. Set a Comfortable Text Width

Too many words stretched across the screen make reading tiring. Aim for a line length around 60–80 characters.
Keep side-bars or wide containers in check, especially on large screens.

2. Use a Clear Visual Hierarchy

• Use a single H1 for the post title.
• Follow with H2, H3 sections for structure.
• Make body text size readable (e.g., ~16px or 1 rem) and set line-height around 1.5–1.6.
• Use bold or italics sparingly to highlight, not to decorate.

/* Example CSS */
body {
  font-size: 1rem;
  line-height: 1.6;
  max-width: 700px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
h2 {
  font-size: 1.75rem;
  margin-top: 1.5rem;
}
