Trying to be more user friendly...

There is a fine line (at least in my small mind) between an artistic and edgy blog site and one that is too hard to read. In the past I have been told (on more than a few occasions) that either my background is too weird/dark or that my accent colors can't be distinguished from the rest of the colors. Hmmmmmm...

So, I have changed the color of my print font because try as I have, I just don't like the way this thing looks without the dark blue and brown. Let me know if the lighter font makes this thing any easier to read, ok? I've got some fun/challenging things to be sharing here and I don't want to bum you out with headaches - or blurred vision - or whatever. Peter Rollins et al get it pretty much right in this visual...


I like this very much... check out his blog at: peterrollins.net

I like the Rollins piece. I can't believe that IKON is just 100 miles up the road and I've not visited....

Let me know what you think, ok? I hope to visit it when we get to the UK next (which I hope is sometime next year.) And maybe I could buy you some... coffee? Be well.

Since you asked: no, the print colours are not a problem. I do experience odd layouts with the embedded Youtube vids, however; the screens are sometimes sliced off on the right side. They are also invariably pretty slow loaders, and i have DSL service. I find that it's usually worth the wait, though!

Yep, this is definitely easier to read! I'm pleased. Thankee, thankee.

Thanks, friends, for your words. I am still learning this crazy style and loving it all. I will explore whether some of the Youtube feeds have a faster load... thanks again.
