Hmm, just tinkering. I'm not sure how easy it would be to go back to the original layout. And, should that be possible, I probably wouldn't do it in any case. However, to ease reading, I would gladly take advice as to color corrections, and tinker with those. I very much like some changes, such as the wider main body, which allows pictures and videos to be viewed much more readily. Of course, with the wider screen comes a much more "in your face" viewing of things... which... I dunno... It seems a bit much. I did dim the text, but it still seems a little... too much? Any suggestions? I would certainly make modifications for a trial. Urhm, do NOT suggest yellow!
I liked the old template. I did not like that I could not widen the main section, nor could I use that section as a secondary sidebar. Then again, one sidebar is more than enough. I simply wanted a wider main body section. I'll look at it in the morning. Bleh... I hate this sort of crap.
Good night.
Update:
Works in progress. Watch your footing, and that step?
If you were wondering where my posts were disappearing? I am working on a couple of things. Among those things is putting videos "below the fold". As well I am working with link coloration for visibility without eye-crossing brightness or contrast, and yet with my preferred color schemes. No mean feat for me. While I don't think I am all that different, in some ways, what I see as verging on too bright some of you seem to not be able to see?
Hmm...the title and subtitle are almost invisible, and the link text is quite dark as well. The body of the posts shows up quite well however.
ReplyDeleteOkay, is it the reddish, bluish, or both link text that is difficult to see (and both in post areas and in the sidebar?)? They are slightly different. I will bring the title back a bit, but I like it to be a little faded, not bold, yet... sort of like it sneaks up on you? Difficult to do with just color contrast but...
ReplyDeleteMy absolute goal was getting a post field enlarged, for videos and just for general purposes. Since, when you change one thing, everything has to be revamped, and yet some things I used to be able to control, centering the blog title and description, for example, doesn't seem possible, even tried adding html fixes directly. Anyway, my next goal was to make this as clearly and easily read as possible.
If the project was a friend, I would describe him as a fun bastard, or interesting sob, probably too mixed of a bag to really ever quite get confortable with. If female, the ex I haven't met. :p
I can't find any bluish text, so I assume that is completely lost in the background. The reddish is hard to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about that. Red is for links, blue is for links that have been activated. So, perhaps follow a red link to somewhere in both the post area (preferably in the text part), and on the sidebar, then see if blue appears?
ReplyDeleteOh, if there are any actual preferences you would like to see tried? Spit it out. Advise or requests are not limited to function. Not a requirement, just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you changed things or if it is me changing from a brightly lit room at work to a dimly lit room in the evening at home, but the links and title are easier to read now.
ReplyDeleteI did change the title, but nothing else. Now, I work in a rather well lit room, or at least when I was tinkering earlier. Southeast and south facing windows with the sun up and out.
ReplyDeleteThen again, some browsers are set to their own color schemes, which doesn't always translate well. Or... I don't know what else. Changing a blog is always a little spooky, as some then can't read or find things.
