Redesign is underway

I am not sure I like it but I will sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

David Garner said...: Agree. Black text on blue outline is hard to read. Old version was much easier on my eyes.; 7/24/2011 12:29 AM

Bob Glassmeyer said...: this is a lovely shade of blue, mellow and soothing, and close to periwinkle, a favourite of mine. First class, John!; 7/24/2011 9:59 PM

The posts themselves form a narrow column in the middle, and the left and right are just vast expanses of a very loud periwinkle.

I can't focus on what's in the middle. And I don't want to resize my window to see only what's in the middle.; 7/24/2011 10:11 PM
