Is the type face too small? Are the links easily found in the text body? All suggestions gratefully (if not gracefully) accepted.

Posted by: cassie-b at March 14, 2004 02:25 PMI'm wondering about the spacing of the letters in links. Hmm; I may tinker a little more.
Posted by: Linkmeister at March 14, 2004 02:29 PMHey! What happened to the Chinese horse? I liked the Chinese horse!
I find the typeface a little small, the links unnoticeable, the color scheme bland, and I'm getting a weird grey box over part of the text that goes away if I scroll the page around (I'm using IE6). Sorry. I mean this in a loving and supportive way.

Posted by: jr at March 14, 2004 04:34 PMOk, other than the horse, Christina's suggestions have been taken and hopefully resolved.
Natasha the iBook? ;) Nice to know about the Safari functionality!
Posted by: Linkmeister at March 14, 2004 04:37 PMIt all reads nicely from here, though I also get what Christina calls the weird gray box. It's more like random areas of text that get blocked out by the gray. Scrolling up and down or highlighting can correct it. But I wonder what causes this. I occasionally see it on a few blogs and have always wondered what's different to create that.
Otherwise, font size and spacing is fine.

Posted by: Scott at March 15, 2004 03:58 AMHmm, I get the gray boxes Kevin mentions, too.

Posted by: Elayne Riggs at March 15, 2004 05:28 AMOK, the problem is being caused by the "background" element in your #content style block. I can't find a way to fix it with just the stylesheet; but I can make it go away with minimal messing around in the blog template body. Here's what to do:
1. Remove the background element from #content in your CSS
2. Add this block to your styles:
.contenttable {
background: #DCDCDC;
}
3. In your blog template, directly below the line <div id="content"> and above the line <div class="blog">, add this line:
<TABLE CLASS="contenttable" BORDER="0"><TR><TD>
4. Between the closing </div> tags for the content and blog divs, and this line:
</TD></TR></TABLE> <!-- contenttable -->
5. Wave a rubber chicken over your keyboard and republish your blog.
If you do not have a rubber chicken handy, creative swearing seems to achieve the same effect.
(Why yes, I am procrastinating.)
'Kay, I made the changes Christina suggested. Any more grey boxes?

Posted by: toxiclabrat at March 15, 2004 01:44 PMNo gray boxes now, Chief.
Posted by: Scott at March 15, 2004 06:11 PMI'm still thinking about the cave art and where I could put it. ;)
Posted by: Linkmeister at March 15, 2004 07:37 PMI *love* orange, blue and gray together color-wise. The type is easy to read and the links seem to lay out just fine now!
*Very* clean looking. Me likee!
