ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I so wish you wouldn't use dark colors in the text against a dark background. Some of us are reading this on really small screens, and with "old" eyes, the small print is hard enough, then with the dark color in bright ambient light, it's impossible to see the important information it contains.
Thanks again!
