«A Word About My Layout»

You may not realize it, but some thought and work went into this blog design. It's custom-made by me. There are a few things that I've checked it for, such as visibility for different kinds of color blindness (using this page). I've also tried to design for people who use a larger font size than the default. If you increase the font size, most things on the blog should scale with it; at least for a size or two. I know some of you don't like dark backgrounds. No-one complains about light backgrounds because they are a standard. I personally like dark backgrounds. I often sit in a dark room when I'm using my computer, and dark backgrounds cause less eyestrain for me. It is my blog, so I have chosen to use a dark background. I have a little personal liberty, don't I? Maybe after I get everything all tweaked out with this design, I'll make a lighter layout and have a way to choose between them. I have tested a method I came up with for doing this and it works just fine, although I can't change the color of the ads on the fly, so they look out of place in a lighter layout. But for now I'm still doing minor tweaks to this layout. I've been thinking about changing the coloring of the navigation menu so it stands out a little more. If you have any thoughts or ideas for the navigation menu, please, leave me a comment here. Or any suggestions for the layout or color scheme in general. I'm always open to suggestions. Also, completely unrelated...
