Themes that is easy to read (for seniors)

    I have basically inherited a web site for a group that is children of parents that supported the “wrong” side in WW2. They have small meetings from time to time. To help them out my plan was to use a wordpress.com blog to make it easy to update. But many of them are senior citizens by now so I’m looking for a wordpress theme that is easy to read.

    As far as I understand the best practice to make text easy to read is to use Arial or Helvetica (font-family: Arial, Helvetica;), “12 point” size (font-size: large;?) and sometimes bold text ().

    In the posts I can set this manually but not in the menu. So does anybody have a suggestion for a theme where the menu (and preferably the posts) is easy to read?

    I suppose I could pay for the css upgrade, but it feels a bit unnecessary to pay just to get an easy to read blog. It’s not like I’m doing anything fancy. It’s probably a theme out there, it must be a market for it.

    Have a look at http://wpthemes1.wordpress.com/ where you can easily view all the available themes and see which you prefer.

    Also you might like to teach them about the text zoom feature in their web browsers, since it’ll help them with other web sites as well.
