@admin Thank you so much. That makes a world of difference! It's funny, I don't remember getting older, but parts of me (eyes included) seen to have aged despite my explicit instructions against it.

@Kirkgray
I’ve made the article text pure black. Hopefully that will help you out a little.

Congrats on the move to new blog software. Transitions seem to never go smoothly, but you seem to have pulled it off rather well.

I would take a moment to talk about the light grey and blue. It’s really hard on my eyes. I can work 10-14 hour days on the computer without a problem. But 15 or 20 minutes on your site or ARBP’s can totally do my eyes in for the day. I can minimize the strain a bit by enlarging the text to normally unrealistic size. But if I’m on my MacBook that means a lot of horizontal scrolling to read the site and in the end, I generally don’t bother. Basically, I skim headlines, then if there is something I want to read, I copy it, paste it into Text Edit and change the color to black.

As I said, most things on the computer and most sites don’t bother me in the least. The few sites that do just get taken off my list. But your’s and ARBP’s haven’t because they are valuable. (To be honest, I’ve paid my ARBP membership and haven’t really been back because of it.)

Please consider using darker shades of grey (black is nice) and blue. Thanks.

akismet is a must
beyond that not really sure as I dont get that much traffic to worry about comment spam
simply forcing people to register stops a lot of bots
