I’ll echo concerns over the design. On a large-screen CRT its very hard to read. I found myself increasing the text size in the browser just so I can read it comfortably. The fg color of the text itself does not sufficiently contrast with the bg at the default size. Interestingly enough the embedded links are much more legible - they’re a brighter color. The comments are a little more legible - but not as much as links - again because they use a different color.

Looking good, and welcome to the WordPress family.

I’m also a big fan of Wordpress, and blog within that community, as is shown by the URL of my blog.

But whatever your taste in blogging engines, please, please, don’t use a white-on-black theme. Take a look at every book in the library. They are white-on-black for good reason.

White-on-black. Cute, yes; readable, not.

Hmm, that’s not a good thing. I’ve turned it off until I can figure out how to make it behave more nicely. Thanks for the comment!

Well, that’s all fine and good (and the layout is great, BTW), but that “Popularity” thingy in your posts is continually changing, and since it’s propagated to the RSS feed, any feed reader that checksums post content will keep marking your posts as “updated”…

I don’t suppose you could remove it from feeds? It’s showing up on Planet Python as well…
