I use the Opera browser - it is the best for reading Freerepublic (other sites as well). You can easily zoom to whatever size you want and it “reflows” the text, so you don’t have to scroll sideways.

My sight isn’t that great either and it works really well for me.

Give it a try.

impact font looks like I would like that . . . but how do I make it a default font for everything?

(Windows 10)

Do you have a “View” button in your browser’s menu? (Usually at the top of the screen)

If so, click on that, and select “zoom in”.

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here. Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use imgbb. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks. Imgbb allows you to imbed codes to do all the HTML heavy lifting automatically.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "width=nnn" like so:

This: <img width=200 src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Now about that home page of yours…

Protip: Make the very first thing <blockquote> this will move everything that follows a wee bit to the right, giving you a nice left margin. Of course since any HTML command anywhere will be assumed to require HTML for every bit of text, all your paragraphs will need to have paragraph <p>, and line breaks <br>…
