    Hey everyone,

    Hope you all had a great weekend. I did. And now I am stumped.

    I have my webpage at https://www.samdiener.com. I am having a little bit of trouble with the text color. I used a theme from wordpress.com and now I am custom redoing it.

    I have two questions:

    1. I have been screwing around with the main text color and come up with this (light grey) to be easiest on all readers, do you all agree? (the white from the lifestream box was the original text color – too much contrast)

    2. On the lifestream widget on the side, I can’t figure out where white color is coming from in the CSS. If you have google chrome, you can “inspect element,” however I am not sure with other browsers. What do you all think?

    Thanks so much,

    Sam Diener

  • come up with this (light grey) to be easiest on all readers, do you all agree?

    It seems fine – although you could lighten it a little. Perhaps to #A0A0A0? However, I finds the sidebar text (#666666) a little too dark in places.

    I can’t figure out where white color is coming from in the CSS

    It’s being inherited from:

    #sidebars ul ul li {
color:#EEEEEE;
line-height:17px;
}

    You got at least 1 other reference to #EEEEE in the sidebar CSS as well as this one.

    If you have google chrome, you can “inspect element,” however I am not sure with other browsers

    Firefox & Firebug – a perfect combination. ??

    Thank you so much for your help.
    I actually went back to the original, and chose to change the sizes. I have a question about that in a newer post.

    But I learned a lot from your response!
