http://daedalus-x.blogspot.com , if anyone is interested.
I plan on using it to document my various IT endeavours, among other things.
It may be split into two different blogs down the line, if I write enough about my personal life. I am also going to be hosting it myself and pointing a domain name to it, at some point.
I hope that I'll see a few of you guys.

Your text is difficult to read (dark font on black background).

It's as if I'm reading it in a dark room wearing sunglasses...
Needs brightening up some.

I have a low contrast laptop - please take pity on me
.
In any case, I like reading community blogs so duly bookmarked.

I think you should go with a #212121 background with #3d3d3d text. Links should be #333333 with hovers being #313131. For affect, you can make your borders #111111.
I'll make sure to read it with a flashlight on.

I brightened them up again. I will hopefully have some more blogs posted by the end of this weekend. I intend to have a tutorial to make at least a complete single-document text editor in C#.net finished.
