Please, please, add some contrast to the text color there. #636363 on #ffffff in an 8.5pt font is rough on the eyes. I firebugged it to #000 / 1.3em and it's much easier to read.

agreed, give me a few mins. h/o. updated: changed article font to black and upped the size. gracias amigo, i needed a good kick in the ass on getting that done.

  How about not setting the background to #ffffff like a jerk. I don't like staring into the sun every time I browse Web sites. Note that HN uses nice soothing background colors. Also note that if you don't explicitly set a background color it defaults to #ffffff pretty much everywhere, yet I can set my default to light gray and be happy, yet sites look pretty much the same.

    Also note that HN encourages civil conversations - calling someone a jerk is not civil.

    I didn't do it to be a jerk. I definitely should have changed it though. Working on this now pending Panera Bread's internet being flakey.

  Much better -- thanks. :-)
