Now . . . as far as WHY things are the way they are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The eyes of older people are not as sharp as yours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">We don\u2019t read as quickly as you do.

Ballpark of 66 point is ideal for this. Never <i><b>ever<\/b><\/i> below 56 point. Also, our minds also don&#8217;t process words quite as quickly as they used to, so keep the number of words to a minimum. 40 is the ballpark I use. If you can EASILY read it on your Slide Activity Overview or Announcement Overview screen in about five seconds, you are probably OK. If you have to strain the least bit, consider making the type font larger. Here are some basic guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Generally speaking don&#8217;t use a font that is less than 60 point type<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bigger is better. If you go below 56 point, it should be for information that is not really relevant to your message, cause we won\u2019t be able to read it well<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Try not to have a heading that is over 8 words.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Your description of your activity or announcement should be only 30-40 words in length. Again . . . if it is more than that, we won\u2019t even bother!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Don&#8217;t have the background be too busy \u2013 our eyes don&#8217;t have the definition they used to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Pretty graphics are fine, but keep them of secondary importance. We want the information more than the pretty pictures.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">With that in mind, let&#8217;s go through the interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Add an Activity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Enter Title, Location, and Description \u2013 Keep the number of words to no more than 8 words in the title and ideally 20 words in the description, not more than 30-40. Only in rare cases should you have more than 40 words on it \u2013 and then only a few over.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">DO NOT use pdf or jpg files. They are not readable by Alexa, Siri or Roadrunner, and cannot be \u201cseen\u201d by our visually impaired residents.<br \/>\nThere is enough design flexibility in Touchtown that you can \u201ccome close\u201d to the design you want.
