Not sure that'll be the easiest way ... but I'd be happy to give you some advice ...

Stick with a white or light background with dark text .... but maybe a new theme/template for WordPress would be a good idea and give everything an overhaul ...

maybe even spice up the header graphic ....

email me ... i'm a cheap lunch date ...

Can't believe JudyBore and Brickhead the Executioner convinced you to use this tactic to distract people from the campaign. I am told they are using this tactic at rallies and speeches too. MIA Stu has been making this his whole spiel

ColorCombos.com Combo

Can't use ColorJack.Offwhite for background. Blue or black for article. Yellow for borders and dates. Headlines in brick red. Links in blue if black used for article text.

I also can't view it because IE6 is all I have on this computer. I usually use it even though its an inferior product because I do web design work and have to account for the 90% of the population that doesn't know enough to get firefox...

Please don't do this. At least, not in this way. Leave it to a professional designer or artist.

As someone who daily has to fix the horrible color choices of other people's powerpoint slides, I say keep it SIMPLE, CLEAR, CALM. You don't need "exciting" colors to jazz up the page; the energy comes out of the content. Some of your readers may have color-blindness issues or just poor vision, don't complicate things by reducing contrast with color-on-color type and other monstrocities. Your layout as-is is fairly clean and radable. Don't turn it into something that looks like myspace home page crap. One change you could consider that would be more or less transparent would be to bring the site more into compliance with the uniform guidelines for accessibility. That way vision-impared folks can access and "read" the site more easily, among other benefits.

nevermind colors. that pac commerical for melissa bean is so retarded. all they show bean doing is squinting in to the sun (someone get that lady some sun glasses), nodding her head and mouthing "right, right" over and over again with a fake "would you shut up i have better things to do than listen to you" smile. is that the best they can come up with?

Three colors...

Red. For the People's Republic of Chicago.

Gray. Because everything in Decatur is some depressing shade of gray.

Blue. Because even the Republicans in this state act like Democrats.

Color selection is more difficult than one might think. I would search around blogger and steal a pre-made style.

I use Opera and it still was pretty gruesome. How about 10 lunches?

Same problem here as Ken's. I like the dark blue..maybe that as a background with a lighter blue for links? Red for the dates? School bus yellow for indictment posts?

I'd love to help, but ColorJack seems to be owned by militant anti-Internet Explorer types...
