A new direction in the colour scheme for my personal blog design. This is the closest I'm likely to come to liking a 'dark text on a light background' design. I almost always do the opposite.
I approve. Though, I would consider not using the little bevel highlight on the text. It’s a very common technique and just come across as a little cliché here. No offense.
Also, can you tighten it up just a pinch?
Lastly, I friggin LOVE that subtle grid background. I want to steal it and use it for my own.
No offense taken, I appreciate somebody actually critiquing - that's what this is for!
Applied some negative letter spacing and removed the highlight. I'll be the first to admit that I added it mainly out of habit and it wasn't really adding much.
The background, as you may guess, is a combination of Tileabl.es patterns ;)

The tooltip is just jQuery & CSS too :)
