That's some mighty fancy HTML/CSS there, man! I can well appreciate the work, ofc!
The theme looks pretty solid, and the links stand out.
If I could offer some constructive criticism, I would suggest a mostly transparent shadow box behind any area featuring text, just to give a 'block' to the text areas, perhaps even separate ones (for main content, and then for side bar content). I agree that the text seems a bit hard to read and the dates on sidebar nearly invisible, but I wouldn't change the theme or background texture because it does look good, just need to do something to fix the undesired outcome of difficulty reading - and a large square mostly transparent black shadow box behind the text sections may look good, something maybe like this:
Code: Select all
div.shadowbox {
position: fixed;
top: 20px;
left: 20px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
padding: 20px;
}
Also, after that, look at the glow in your links, and if it doesn't look good on the shadow box, you might consider lessening the effect a bit or use a more muted color for the glow. As it is, the glow is a bit much... IMHO 'less is more', subtlety can be better. Up to you.
Unsolicited advice, feel free to take it or leave it - wouldn't criticize unless I liked it and wanted to offer ideas. Cheers!
