How bad is it?

I have tried a whole bunch of different looks for this blog. It seems I change it every couple of weeks. I really like this one. I was in the process of changing the rest of my site to imitate it.


I know it dies with IE6.0 but it still can't cause harm to your eyes.


Today I see on Digg a comment that about makes me cry.


couldn't read the article because the web site made my eyes bleed. shame you didn't learn web design too.



I know it looks retro, and doesn't look like most internet sites, but I thought it was cool and fun. I really did not want to make anyones eyes bleed either. Is it really that bad?


You can tell me.


[UPDATE:] Is that better?

Sweet Jesus yes it's that bad. Yellow background is a mistake 99.9% of the time to begin with, and then you have yelow links on top of it, going for sheer unreadability. And then light shades of green on top of the yellow is questionable as well. The scrolling ads on the right are almost as annoying, they scroll entirely too fast, especially considering how little is actually on there.

I'd go on, but it's not worth it. The yellow alone is cringeworthy enough to make people want to leave ASAP.

One of the worst designs out there. If you need help, please ask! Lot's of people are willing to help. It needs a lot of visual organization

Bluntly – yes

I enjoy reading your content but find it hard to do and normally leave before I’ve finished reading.

Wow! I guess I was horribly wrong. I know design is not my forte, I am more of a science person. I really thought it looked cool.


Oh well thanks for the comments. I guess it's back to the drawing board for me.


Does anyone know of good places to go for design help?

I'm surprised at the negative comments! I like the colors, I find them fun and refreshing! Why does everyone hate yellow so much? I wonder what everyone expects? Black and white?
