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. :<

The way the page is set up, I highly doubt it (there's a white background behind the lavender text bg, which is logically where such an image would go). I have been to webpages that had an image go wonky in the way you describe. Hell, I had one, once. (Back in the hoary mists of time and my phase of building character shrines to Ranma½ characters. *coughs delicately*) I finally got the image behind the text to work, but I never did get the thing to stop making the spacer bars out of my header image...
