The title might sound stupid, but its practically true. Larger fonts in your blog’s main content or comments form makes readers to leave more comments.
Its all psychological… Its all about making your readers feel comfortable. If your fonts are too small, your reader find it less readable and they won’t stay on your blog much longer, as simple as that.
Your blog’s design plays another factor, Jazzy graphics and cluttered sidebar will grabs your reader’s attention, but at the same time it makes your content less readable.
Overall, Simpler Design and Larger fonts will increase your blog’s readability and makes your readers to stick to your blog much longer + encourages them to leave more comments. Doesn’t this sound logical ?

How large is large?
But, you raise a good point indeed. I off late have tried avoiding too small fonts. However, too big could be really irritating as well.

And another thing that is irritable in any website is having the font size fixed by defining them with ‘px’. If you are unsure of how big the font may appear in different resolutions, atleast define them with ‘em’s. That way, the user has the choice of scaling the font sizes.

I think everything has as I mentioned in the other ‘Karthik’ post here. And moreover, all the Simpson characters are TradeMarks, and if use of it anywhere requires the permission from its owners.
