The New Black

Does this background make the photo's look better?


Note, a few other things. I have no idea why the links/archive part of the blog is WAY down there. When I figure that out, maybe I'll update the links! Also, it appears in the update that I have ditched the Haloscan code somewhere. Instead of trying to fix that, I'm just gonna use the Google comments--not that I get so many comments. But any comments or help on the redesign are appreciated.

Black looks good for the photos, but it looks terrible for the text. I have trouble reading it for very long; it's like looking into headlights.

A framer taught me this years ago, but gray actually sets photos off beautifully. You could have a gray background, black text, and photos that look great in context. It's relatively easy to change the colors in a blogger template, let me know if you want to change them sometime and I'll help.

I'm with Mike. The black background makes it very hard to read the text, especially the hedlines and the info at the end. I really had to strain to make sure things were being posted by VI -- some of the content didn't seem like your usual subject matter. :)
