Yesterday I saw a few mentions about how grey text on a white background is hard to read. I didn’t think much of it, except that I didn’t feel the same way. Then it dawned on me that my site has grey text on a white background! D’oh!

So, give it to me straight - is my site hard to read? For those of you reading this from the feed, click on over so you can chime in.

I can read you just fine :)

I can read it, but it’s a bit of a strain on the eyes.

I find gray on white soothing to read.

I’ve got no problem reading the grey on the white…

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s dark gray text on gray background. But I can read it just fine.

I normally read you through my feed reader, so I know what you’ve said by the time I get here. It is a smidge hard to see, but I wouldn’t have complained…

It is slightly harder to read than black on white.

I have no problem with it, the people who might though are people who have bad eyesight, or who wear glasses.

Websites are global so you have to think about everyone who might be reading them when you make choices

This is so ironic, because when Marisa posted that on the PPP forum yesterday, and immediately PM’d her asking if mine was hard to read also! LOL!

I DON’T FIND YOUR SITE ALL THAT HARD TO READ. WHAT I DO FIND HARD TO READ THOUGH IS WHITE ON YELLOW! ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! ENJOYING YOUR SITE AND AM READING THE REST! TODD
