Hey all,

I have long wanted to do something more with my site, and that “more” was to have true blogging capabilities. I looked at the usual suspects, wordpress, blogger, etc. But they really didn’t cut it, so I am really glad I found EE. Its been really great to get to learn and launch an EE powered site. I will definitely be using EE for future freelance projects!

Here is my site:

To be honest, it’s just too hard on the eyes.  There are points where the foreground and background colors are the same - leaving the text totally illegible (screenshots attached).

Yeah I see that. Luckily my design is very versatile. I had been using a different theme up till today. It took me about 5 minutes to change it. I’m sure I will change it again before long!

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

EDIT: I decided the older theme was better, so I reverted. I think its much more readable.

Thanks! I like it too, mainly because it allows me to easily change background/theme quickly.

Thanks again inparo...

This was my original theme. I really like it, but will continue to experiment. I plan on updating the theme on a monthly basis, just to keep things visually fresh.

Thanks for all the feedback!
