Dear Mr. Korn,

I enjoy your writing and think what you have to say is important and thank you for the effort of developing your website. I have one minor criticism though, the salmon color background with the dark blue text is hard to read and I would suggest you change the background color on those few pages. I wouldn't bother telling you this if I didn't think what you have to say is worth reading and therefore think it a shame to have such a minor distraction hinder.

I use G+ as a social network and I am thinking of posting paragraphs from your website for general discussion. Is that ok?
Best Regards,

Jim Wilbur


Jim,

It is fine if you post paragraphs from my website.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I’m not sure which pages you feel need changing. I can’t find anyplace where I use dark blue text; it is normally black. Is it possible your browser defaults to dark blue or something of that nature? I use a variety of shades as backgrounds depending on the section, and the one that seems most likely to be an annoying salmon is the appendix section. Is that what you’re thinking of? I’d hate to lose readers because my colors are hard on the eyes.

Dear Bob,

Thank you for permission, I will try that out.
It's the four pages linked under the 'Importance of Responsible Thinking' header. Maybe the text is a charcoal gray? It was difficult enough for me to read that I cut and pasted the text into notepad rather than read it on the page. I do wear glasses and have a reasonably good quality flat screen monitor.

Best Regards,
Jim



Jim,

I tried several browsers and always get black text, but my website doesn’t explicitly specify text color, so if your browser has a different default text color, that’s what you’ll get. I should specify text color so this won’t happen, but probably won’t be able to get to it for a while.
