Please fix it.  The pictures and other text are covering your blog.

No offense to the content of the blog, but the current style/formatting/coloring/etc. makes it really hard to read. The electric colors and distracting background really detract from the words you're trying to convey.

Hmm, here's how it looks to me, what browser type, etc. are you using so I can try to fix it.

Heres how it looks for me even when I change resolutions its fine.  Also looks fine in Chrome & Internet Explorer.

How's it look for you?

still doesn't change the fact the color choice and text size make it difficult to read.
My advice? Just get a blogspot account and go from there, you can post your... whatever that is, and not have to worry about the technical end of things

for me the "jesus name above all names" on the left and the blue cross on the right are actually behind the text so it is a little hard to read sometimes.

Glad to hear!

Can you screenshot it or describe how it looks compared to mine?  I use a built in blog program on my website and I find it easier to get stuff done when editing my site when I can edit everything at once.  Thanks for the input though!

I will try to fix it and make it smaller, with a background that isnt a solid color it is hard to perfect a site on how it will read on every browser, version, and resolution to fit properly.

White-on-black text always sounds like a cool idea, but then ends up making your website look like a Geocity that nobody wants to read.

I changed the background (should be more presentable).  What color scheme would you suggest for the background type I have? :)

I am always open to suggestions and helpful comments.

Basically, as long as you have a black background it will never be visually pleasing or easy on the eyes.

  What color schemes work well together to be visually appealing to the eyes where people want to read? :)

The standard black/grey-on-white/muted is always a safe bet. It's standard for a reason. Another viable option is white-on-pastel. Pretty much just avoid black background and neon anything and it'll probably be ok.

  Thanks for the advice bro, when I get some time I will test a few things out.
