This site uses Arial all over the place. But Arial is a cheap bastard font. Helvetica is much, much prettier. CreateBlog's stylesheet should prefer Helvetica over Arial.

I got 3/10 though I read a similar article before.
 I would choose a dozen other sans-serif fonts BEFORE I would even consider Helvetica. |
