    Thank you for the input … I do understand, and I am encouraged … and discouraged with what I perceive to be the hassle involved – I’ll start looking for a new theme more friendly to text while still providing a pop for photos, I can’t author CSS and don’t have the time to learn.

    I did like this site very much (wordpress, k2, vader) … but it wouldn’t seem to fit in with the critique here.

    Thanks again for the input, I always had problems picking out a good mat for photos and frame until I went with plain white, sometimes with an inset black, with a simple black frame … elegant, simple.

    Hmmm….

    Root … I understand, but there are things I want to do and things I don’t, things I’m good at and things I’m not … I want the easiest method of posting possible with the greatest amount of flexibility … I just want it to work well and easily … I want my cake and to eat it too … and not have to work for it … I’m an American after all. Thought that might get a reaction, lol

    Moshu, LOL!

    I appreciate bluntness … Okay, you’re the Mod … give me input how to make it better.

    Color, text and background?
    Other issues?
    Suggestions for a theme?
    I am asking …

    BTW,
    I find digging into CSS not fun and frustrating. I’m used to WYSIWYG of page layout programs so all the tweaking in code seems … bizarre and archaic … uh oh, now I’ve done it

    Cranked up font size and color. Trying to change primary font to TrebuchetMS but no luck … keep trying.

    Thanks for all the great input.

    Thank you all! Very, very helpful and greatly appreciated… I agree on the text color and the idea of using color from the header image for the headlines … yes! Now I’ll just have to find where to change that body text color amidst the sea of CSS. Sigh, like I said I’m no code warrior ….

    Hmmm, I’m using bluehost as the server but some of the images are linked from smugmug, which I suspect is the issue on speed. I’ll be uploading images directly to the server from now on.

    Thanks again! and any more tips would be appreciated …

    Tom
