So I am taking a poll. My brother informed me tonight that my blog is really hard to read and tough on the eyes. Is he being an annoying, over-critical little brother ;) or is this really true? So what do you all think? Does it bother you? Should I put a solid background behind the words? I really do want constructive criticism, just not from the same person who constantly reminds me of the terrible things I did to him as a child!!

I can read your blog just fine. I guess you could make your text darker or bold and see if that pleases him. But I think it is fine! Tell Ben to chill!
I can see what he is saying a bit with the background colors being so bold with pattern running through it it kind of chops through the text. But it's still readable. Really, it's your blog and you should do what you love on it. Ben can be a hater.
I love the new look! Totally readable. Hey...what's your address?? I want to send you a Christmas card. I'm so glad we're back in touch again!
To defend myself, yes I did give my sister some advice as to the background of her blog, it isn't readable (maybe its "cute" but it doesn't read well). So of course, my sister decides to poll an already biased audience--wise. Thats like a woman asking if you like her hair, everybody says yes because they are scared to offend her.
Well, I asked Jason if he liked my hair once when I cut it short, and he said I looked like an ugly mushroom. Not the constructive criticism I was looking for. I think it is easier to read bold like that! I like the colors.
i'm gonna say ditto on most everything people have already said. it's readable as it was, VERY cute, but it is easier to read when it's bold. but in the same way it'd be easier to read if it were on solid paper...what i'm unsuccessfully trying to say is that it's great how it is!
I saw a link called "comments" but i couldn't read anything else around it. I was just going to suggest you change your background so I can read it. Is this the place to leave comments like this?
Thanks everyone for your comments. I like it for now and am not going to change it until I find a paper I like. I will just use bold typing with everything so it is easier to read.
Who the heck is suker? Will you please identify yourself!
I am SUCH a dork! I just figured out suker, Ben you idiot!!!!!!!
That is so funny!
I think this post generated more comments than any others, good job Ben on providing us with such a compelling subject. Fascinating!
I like your festive blog. You could possibly use lighter paper behind the text...The denver wedding looked like lots of fun. I LOVE Denver. I could easily live there. Congratulations to your dad. You guys all looked great in the pics. I liked the one of Mark eating!!
I really like it now. The black text is much more readable on the green paper.
much better, my eyes no longer hurt.
nice look with the green paper...this blogroll was too funny.
OH! Now I get what you were talking about. Sorry, I just couldn't read anything with that background. I'm just a random guy who stumbled across your family blog. That Ben guy sure sounds like a swell fellow, though.
