I find a light background with dark text is easier to read – and less depressing to view! So some design in white, grey, cyan for the background. This leaves black, dark blue, even dark grey or red for text.<br /><br />Navigation. I’m a great believer in having a front screen showing a table of posts giving:<br /> the date of the post, the (mandatory) subject or title of the post, author, the number of comments, and date of last comment. <br />I would expect to click on an item in the table, then read the post together with its comments.<br /><br />Once we get more than about 20 posts on our blog I think it will be unwieldy to show the full text of every post on the front screen (and irritating if last month’s posts are already archived), and the table of posts overcomes this problem. Date of last comment is valuable on front screen so you can tell what’s new since you last logged in.PatMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333991678862854644noreply@blogger.com
