Hi Dan and Deanna .. always good to have tips to check out ..

I'm not sure if I like these new backgrounds for blogger .. the concept is good .. but they're quite difficult to read .. and some just simply aren't easy .. yours is between the two ..

Irritating to worry about one's background colours and the scrolling etc .. & the comment tab is mixed up with your signature line ..

Yours is not as bad as some!

Bye for now .. Hilary
