I want something with fairly large text and good contrast for all parts of the blog, so that is usable and accessible. Additionally I would like to use the whole width of the screen rather than squash up in the middle.

This is the closest I could get, but the text is a little on the small side.

Anybody got any ideas?

It seems to me that I might use them in the following way:

  • blog: to be used for brief reflections and reflecting upon action and ideas.
  • wiki: to be used to expand these ideas and work on a more detailed discussion of the ideas. Essentially work in progress
  • web: to archive the more mature ideas that have been developed on the wiki. Of course the web would also be used to work on issues that cannot easily be done on a wiki – probably those relating to web design.

I may change my mind later :-) especially as I have just noticed that it does not allow capital letters, shock horror !! A more important issue was that it did not use the whole screen so I have changed to  Steam 1.5.
