Can I get some critique on my site?

I mean, if you want people to have to work to read the text on your page that's fine, but it's not something I'd want to do. Contrast = good.

I agree with K3V & ElCapichan. I had to focus slightly more to read the text down there and unless it was something I really wanted to read I'd just skip over all of it if I was coming to your site for the first time. I like the idea of it being subtle but it just needs to be a tad darker.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I've darkened the font a bit, I think without compromising the look I was going for.

[ElCapichan]

It's definitely better now. I think the problem before was that, at least on my monitor, if I wasn't looking dead straight on at the text, from any other angle it would blend in with the background. It still does that ever so slightly, but from angles that nobody would use when actually trying to browse a sight and read whats there.

One thing that's weird is that the same shade of gray font showed up fine on the light gray background of the main body of a page, but showed up fainter on the pure white--even though the contrast is greater.

I redesigned dat shit again. Behold: Ninja 250 Blog 3.0

Would love some feedback, especially from Drew and Josh 'cause they/you usually make good criticisms.

I'm no web design specialist, but I like it anyways.

A fun CSS experiment.

If you're handy with code and curious how I did it, check the source. Each "orb" is simply: <div>Text</div>

And if you're using MSIE it probably looks stupid as hell and I DON'T CARE.

It doesn't work on my Mac's Firefox - but it looks good in Safari.

I updated my browser. It works now -- on the older ones it just looked like squares with popping rollover states on them. Your drop shadows are pretty extreme!
