Okay, I can tell you which blogs I hate to scan and read. The ones with wide text areas. The eye doesn't scan past a certain distance with ease, which is why there are studies that show the maximum line width for each type size.
For blogs, a text width of about 5 inches is maximum for ease of reading, depending on the size of the type.
I really don't like tiny type, either.

Lance Mannion is a perfect example. He's such a good writer, but I can barely stand to read his text. Shame.
