July 8, 2008: Welcome to Mike Nielsen's introductory psychology class as well as others using this online textbook.
If you have trouble reading the text on these pages against the background, increase the text size. This is done easily using the menus in any browser. Firefox even offers an add-on widget to put text size buttons on your toolbar. These pages of Psychology: An Introduction were designed to re-flow automatically if you increase text size, while the font will become bolder and easier to read on some monitors, especially high-resolution monitors.
Be sure to write to me if you have any other questions, problems, or comments, or if you spot any broken links. You can write to me at psywww@gmail.com. Thanks! --Russ Dewey
