I opened a blog.

Post by daedalus__ »

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. :D

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. :twisted:

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.
