Face Lift

20th August 2005

New colors (theme) for the blog / website.

Being in the tech industry, I detest light backgrounds with dark text. It is much easier on the eyes to have a dark background and light text.

I have also become aware that the Scripture links do not work for IE users. I am a Firefox user myself so I was unaware of the IE error until today. I will look into the problem when I get some time.

    Hey Brian,

    Just back from vacation! I like the new look of your blog–it’s nice on the eyes :) .

    I’ll begin posting on my blog again. The Camponthis law and gospel post is quite interesting–I’ll probably be posting something relative to that issue soon.

    Hope you had a good time. I was wondering why your blog hasn’t been updated in a while. :)

    Here’s the version I use: http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/scripturizer

    It works on either browser. What scripturizer do you use?

  4. Doug Says:

    One other note, some of the text is really hard to read, such as the blockquote stuff. You may want to increase the contrast a bit.

    I know this is just personal preference for you, but it caught my eye. Studies will actually show that people have an easier time reading dark text on a light background.

  6. BA Says:

    Actually, everything I have read states that dark background and light text is easier on the eyes for long periods of time.

    Those statements coming from the technical and artistic field. There is a reason everything in the old days ran on “green screens” (black background, green text).

    I believe I am running Scripturizer 1.2

    Well, I must be wired weird. Although I appreciate the “coolness” factor, light text on dark background really hurts my eyes!

  9. BA Says:

    I don’t think you are wired weird.

    It may be perceived as hurting your eyes or not looking good but I don’t think the studies really addressed that. They addressed long term usage and what it does to the eyes.

    Working in the technical industry for so long I can attest to their validity (I only wish I would have heeded them). :)
