My daughter Melanie seemed to think the background I had on this blog was boring, so she has changed it to this darker one. I like the way you can see what the posts say so clearly, but I find it hard to read any of the areas on the side because of the black background.
Please tell me what you think. Do you have trouble reading this blog the way it’s designed right now?
Update: I think I am sticking with this computer theme. Easy on the eyes and easy to find things.

Hi,
The gold is a little hard to read.
Personally I’m not fond of the black background
myself.

I agree that the that the writing is too dark, especially from us folks with poor eyesight. The rest of the site is great. Ron
The background is too dark and too stark a contrast to the white writing and hides the grey writing. I do agree with Melanie that a darker back ground is easier on the eyes but this is too dark. Take it up a few shades and you have a winner.
Thank you everyone for your feedback. As you can see, I have gone back to my original boring background. At least it’s easy on the eyes and the posts are easy to find. And personally, I like this design – doesn’t bore me at all!
