Woah, something happened here. {wiping glasses} I'm having a hard time reading your blog with the dark grey text over the dark brown background, that I had to use the mouse to highlight the text section before I could read it. Is it just me?

Darcys Knotty Knitter said...

I had some friends look at my blog and they said the text is black on a cream background which is what I see.Someone on ravelry said it looked like blue font on a brown background and she also is having trouble seeing it.I changed the links to blue just now but it says everything else is worded in black in posts and sidebar.Hugs Darcy

I have just discovered something interesting though. My usual browser is Mozilla Firefox. Your blog is darker when viewed in Firefox. I can see the links now that you have changed them to blue, it was hard to see them before. Oh, I forgot to mention that the top blog posts appear to the right of your sidebar (where they should be). Then there is a blank section. Then at the bottom, the rest of your blog posts appear and they take up the entire width of the window (appearing underneath where your sidebar usually is).

I loaded up Internet Explorer and your blog looks more normal and readable (black text on cream background), and everything (sidebar, blog posts) appear to be where they should be.
