Accessibility
Except for adding a couple more widgets, I think I’m done fiddling here. My next project will be creating a gallery blog at my main site, Arondelle’s Dream Worlds.
Because I have been using black backgrounds on my current gallery, I’m going to use black again. No dark grey or red text, though. 
It seems to me that a long time ago, Mitre Corp in Bedford, MA did a study for the Air Force regarding which colors were best to use on the (at the time) new heads-up displays for their fighter jets. I wonder if the results of that study are publicly available; I should think that it would be of great assistance to folks trying to create accessible websites.

HUDs display in in daylight is bright green and blaze orange. The green is from the old monochrome CRTs at high intensity, but the orange is more intense than the amber CRTs, there is more red involved. At night the shift is to red to preserve your night vision.

“Out, Standing…” is looking really good, Arondelle, and it’s very easy on my old eyes.
One of my regular readers has a blog with a black background and deep blue link text; fortunately, I persuaded her to make the link hover color something brighter… one does have to exercise some caution in choosing foreground colors when the background is black. But you knew that!
