So I have been reading a LOT lately about how dark backgrounds with light text are difficult to read for many blog readers. So I changed my blog. I am not sure that I LOVE it but if you would leave a comment and let me know if this is a little friendlier to your eyes I would appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
Don't worry about offending me I can take corrective criticism I am asking for it here.

So I took your advice and lightened up the grey. I tried white background and it just wasn't as calming to me. So hope you all like my new look. Thanks for the input I appreciate it!

I have been on blogs that use dark backgrounds and vibrant text. I think some combinatons are very hard to read while paler backgrounds seem more peaceful.
We followed the pale advice this week when we changed our blog and so far everyone has been very complimentary.
I like your new look!
Just a suggestion.

Anyhow, I like this. It's easy on the eyes. I agree with Tony, maybe lighten the background just a tad. ;)
Ethel and I fooled with our own blog background/font colors until we were completely confused and ended up changing the template 3 times over the first few weeks until we were satisfied enough. I don't know that either of us LOVES it, but we just prefer to expend our limited minutes and brain cells on something else!
While I've seen a lot of CUTE templates, all of ours are plain because we have so much going on in the sidebars. When we have a chance, we'll be figuring out some scrolling features for awards, badges, etc. to declutter ourselves. I need to do that at home, too! Sheesh. Anyway, your layout is easy, and it's calming to be here :)
I had one of your posts and the picture post in the dock to comment on the other day when Safari froze (again), and I never got back to what was waiting there for attention. I loved the pictures of your kids - they're so photogenic, and the photographer obviously knows what he's doing!
Okay, back to work....

For my next idea, how about making your header picture color? It would really "pop" if you had color contrasting your background and dark font...
