I think the illegible text is a pretty serious complaint. A lot of the visual metaphors typically used in nonflat design have real purposes. Kind of silly to throw them out because it just so happens you used too many leather textures in

I hate double spacing. And you can dismiss that as a personal preference, but there's a problem with it, objectively speaking. Normally, whitespace is collapsed in HTML and it's a moot point. But not in WordPress . Now, let me pi
