Lyndi, the lack of background color works for me. Like esmi, I like things simple and clean. When I first opened the site I as taken-back a bit with all the large images and lost sight of the actual Posts for a moment. I almost blew right back out, but after a short moment I was able to visually define what everything was. Perhaps the suggested light shading would help people like me. I am a “just the facts” type and need to be able to distinguish the posts from the other ‘stuff’ really quickly. I bookmarked the site because it looks like it could be a resource for learing more about WordPress. Good job, and thanks for the informative articles.
