I’m certainly no expert – or even close – but I agree with dbjohns. One look at that page and my eyes hurt. Reminds me of 13 year olds writing “warez” websites. Not good at all for adults with aging eyes.
Ya know … if you changed the background color to something like DCD9BE – it would make all the difference in the world. Still minimalistic, but provide somewhat more contrast.
It’s not TOO light for me, but on other systems and people with different levels of eyesight might have a problem. I’m on XP and a 22″ widescreen LCD monitor at high resolution.
For better contrast, I might select a darker font color.
