I don't like sniping people about things that are unrelated to the actual point they are trying to get across; but in this case the problem caused me to just quit reading the post after the first paragraph, so....

I reckon the blog author should really reconsider the black on dark-grey color scheme of the blog; contrast is not your enemy when it comes to a simple, text-focused blog. This might look pretty decent on whatever system it is that he is writing it on, but on my PC monitor (which is quite a good one, carefully color calibrated and brightness reduced for editing photos), it is a complete disaster.
