I think I may be the only person (actively) posting here with the original "no color" layout

On several occasions I have thought about (and started) fancy-ing up my blog page, but found that there were too many damn details.

I have a huge pet peeve for the colorful blogs....not all of them, but the ones that are haphazardly put together for the sake of "eye candy". Puurrrrty. But puuurrrty doesn't mean I can read what you have written.

Fancy, italicized, fonts that make my head hurt. Links that have no color difference from the background. And my all-time favorite.... a font with so little contrast from the background, the only possibility of reading the words is to highlight the whole dang thing. Or a nice front page; but a comment page that has been given no attention and again, I can't read or link.

I don't read these blogs - they probably don't care. But I can say it sure is annoying that blogs I used to read on a regular basis have become too painful for me to return.

So my blog will remain forever void of visual effects, until I find the time to spend for a quality set up,
