I was planning on putting style switcher on the site to allow people to switch to a white background, but I simply never got around to it.

I have still been reading your blog despite struggling with it after the redesign. Have you softened the yellow slightly? I have to admit, after an initial disapproval, it does work now, I can read your ramblings without it all blurring together. Sorry to come back to an old post.

The layout is good but the colours are playing havoc with my eyes. I agree with Billy, it’s not good for my eyesight either. The layout is good but the colours are playing havoc with my eyes.

Billy, I'll (try to) check it out on other screens - although I'm not sure what you mean by seeing dark patches when you move your eyes. So far, people's comments haven't been too offensive so thanks for that everyone. Please keep letting me know what you think. Thanks for the comments Matthew and Billy.

The yellow is horrendous, I can see dark patches in the yellow when I move my eyes, created by the contrast of this textarea. I reckon you should test it on different screens too.

The typography could do with some more work, though - maybe a nice serif like Helvetica, and a generous font-size (you've got long line-lengths, so bumping the text up a bit won't hurt legibility).

Now I can't read more than a paragraph before it starts to 'flicker' and annoy my eyes. The layout's good, just get rid of the yellow! Congratulations on destroying your website.

The drawback is the association with yellow pages. How about using a bit of grey or white or even both to break it up a bit? Liking the commentary to go with the yellow!
