I really appreciate being made aware of this author, so that I know in the future to avoid his writing.
He desperately needs an editor (an editor other than his spouse).

Do not use a mix of several fonts and sizes in the same article
Choose good fonts. I wonder why is so trendy nowadays to use the thinnest font available and put it in an low contrast gray tone. It puts a innecessary strain in the eye of your public
Cheap fonts have a badly designed character spacing. The same problem happens here. Some letters look more closer than other and this is plain wrong in typography. All characters must create an uniform word and all words must have clear boundaries.
Fix your line spacing. Needs more height here for the same reason.
Plan your design and take care of the flow of your text. Do not randomly displace the beginning of some paragraphs over the other paragraphs without a good reason. Split your page using some strong vertical lines. Not a vertical zigzag pattern.
The lack of knowledge (or care) about basic typography is particularly surprising among web page creators (one of the groups of people that produce more written texts currently). This hurts everybody in many unexpected ways. We enjoy gray text over white background for some reason, jumpscare videos playing suddenly when you enter a web page, diminutive fontsizes by default guaranteeing to damage your eyes, and too long lines of text that are just the incorrect way to do it (but nobody cares).
I am pretty much an amateur at making web pages, and after I used Garamond for something, I read an article about how terrible it is for the WWW because it's so thin and you should only use it for print. But I thought, hey, my phone has more resolution than early laser printers, so is this advice really still relevant?
Editor for personal blog? Are you serious? It was a great read, we need it instead of tweeting 90 char snarky tweets.
