My personal blog. I am thinking about redesigning my site soon so I wanted to get some feedback on how I could improve my design. I know I should improve my blogging skills, but that's a totally different subject LOL
Honestly, I really like this design. A lot. There's a lot of character within the style, mixed with a very balanced structure. On top of that, there's a lot of great content on here, so I often find myself poking around for a good amount of time. However, maybe I have old man eyes, but they always seem to feel a bit strained after viewing your site for awhile. This only really happens when I'm reading text though. Not so much when I'm viewing images. So, if you're planning on writing longer articles/posts, that might be something to consider.
It would be sad to see this site go away though. Hope that helps!
I do like your site's design. However, I would agree with Kevin that the yellow text etc. on black is very hard to read at times. Perhaps revamp it with a white background and see where things take off from there?
I am honestly thinking about having a landing page where user can choose between wanting to view the blog or check out what inspires me. Maybe I can invert this design with a white background just like @Tyler mentioned for the articles because the pictures do have a pop against the black background.
Man this is a hard decision. Make a new design or just improve the existing LOL

I have lightened up the text from #777 to #aaa. Let me know if that works for now until I work on a redesign :)

Yup, better readability for a temporary solution.
Get redesigning already! :)

Love this design, always have! Only slight nitpick is the splitter image between the articles, just seems a bit chunky? to me.
