I don't get it.
This will never cease to confuse me: why would someone post something for others to read, somewhere that invites feedback and, hey, isn't even friends-locked -- with a medium-ish lavender-grey background with slightly darker lavender-grey text? This makes it unreadable! This defeats the purpose! Why post it at all?
And, I mean, this isn't a case of the eye-blinding colours -- they're neutral, even pretty -- I'm just squinting so hard I can't see the words. My crow's feet are getting crow's feet. Thank God for whatever genius made it so that most journals can be relatively easily switched to the style I use on my own as long as I'm logged in.
If this sounds like you, well, smarten up -- but I assure you that nobody who has ever given me the slightest indication that they read my journal is the inspiration for this post. No, I got to this particular post in a fairly convoluted way, involving two and a half days of sliding around the net, from a few comms I'm on to their friends-lists, to posts on said list, to links in the comments of said posts, to memory pages of the commentators, to links from the memories pages to fic-rec posts, etc. etc.
Possibly the binge-reading is in part affecting my squinting, especially as I've also been doing it with books when not at the computer, but dammit, it was difficult to read. :<

Really elaborate backgrounds with text over them, yes. I know some people who have elaborate pictures, but the actual text has it's own solid-colour background. The bg moves with the text when you scroll, and if I'm tired it's actually rather freaky. XD
Oh, ugh. I used to sit behind this guy in English class in grade 9 (actually a really cool guy and a buddy of mine) who wore these patterned sweaters. He was tall and broad-shouldered and the front of my desk was right up against the back of his chair, so I really couldn't miss the sweaters, and some of the patterns... *shakes head* The b&w ones sometimes seemed to move, but not nearly as eye-wateringly as the blue&red.
Yeah, sometimes I figure it's a monitor thing, and I know there are websites that look fine on my PC but not my laptop, or vice versa. Still.
