Larger text in general is just a personal preference of mine. I have an easier time reading what sites have to say if the text is bigger. You don’t have to change it. ( I really do like how you incorporated the green text for emphasis.)
Also I went browsing in your photo gallery and realized there was no direct link back to the main page.
Just another little note: FIRST should be in italics. I did not know this
until fairly recently but it does count.
Very nice usage of typography! The website looks amazing.
The only thing I would suggest is to change the your header and navigation backgrounds because they don’t match with your website. They dull the website down, which i think can be easily fixed.
For your header, use a soft gradient instead of the solid color. Maybe try rounding the top left and right corners of it.
For your navigation, the striped background doesn’t work that well. the striped background is used more for the background of the page, not for the navigation. a solid color here(maybe black?) or an invisible background image(so you would see the grey boxes in the back) would be cool because it would separate the header and the body a bit, and it would help the contrast of the navigation.
You might have to play around with this, but I think it would help.
The photo software is some weird thing offered by the host. I was looking for a way to backup the photos, but they do not offer that. Thanks for reminding me, as I kind of forgot about installing a new gallery software.
I tried changing the header background to match the text, and it looked really dull.
I might mess around the nav bar some tomorrow.
Thanks for the input.
Edit: The blog is about 95% redone. The nav bar is the only thing that’s giving me headaches, and some code tinkering will hopefully fix it.
