Follow the link and check both the Scenery page and the French and Indian War page. You just might be glad you did. But be warned, photo heavy.

Tango, no disrespect intended but are you perhaps color blind? I actually polled a variety of folks when I first set up the blog and almost everyone was fine with this final set up after I adjusted for the concern you've expressed. Or maybe your monitor is adjusted different. Either way, thanks for looking. Might post the two page URLs later.

I can definately say that I'm not colour blind* but your blog does strain the readability criteria for web sites.

The black on the sun yellow/orange for the body text is just about acceptable to read, but the titles and links roll over colour is way too close for it not to induce eye strain – especially on anyone not in their twenties – after some length of time.

Again, no disrespect intended, but can I tactfully suggest you chose an alternative colour for both the standard and 'rolled over' state of your link text and menut buttons and select something with a little higher contrast?

The text style of the buttons and some links – the thin script style – ain't helping your site either.

Failing that, a white background – as opposed to the yellow orange – would do the trick.

I agree -- it's very hard to read.
