ouch my eyes, your site could use a bit of work to make it easier to read. Other then that, those are some nice ramblings you've got there. 8)

Agreed. Site is damn near impossible to read. Background and text combination simply doesn't work. Remember...it only takes a few milliseconds for someone to get a first impression of your site...less is more in this case.

If you wish to keep the background image, I recommend you put the text itself in Tables with a much more contrasting coloured background. That way, you have background image, with text in nice neat boxes.

Hmmm... Me... I don't like the background.... too 'busy' which draws attention away from the purpose of the actual content. Try something that doesn't have attention draws.

Here...

http://www.admiraltigerclaw.com

I keep my main areas on the pages as simple boxes of text... The fancy stuff is around the outside, and even then, it's not so BUSY as the eye does the back and forth insanity bit like trying to look at the picture on your Xanga.

Also, you can use shapes in images to draw attention. The horizontal part of the image, and the verticle in the image on my site menu bars, tends to draw your eye to the top corner where the image displays whatever character or person is the 'person of the page'.

Check out the different sections of my site to see how variations on the exact same theme using color schemes work.

It's a blog, generally the purpose of a blog is to read the text describing events?

If you want people reading it, it has to be clear.

Anywho, I have's Zee taxes here to file. *Gets out nail file...*

WRONG FILE!
