Ok good points.
Funny how when a person can look at their own blog and it looks great and easy to read. I have seen plenty of blogs using a three column format and their text is so damn small it freeekin' hurts to read.
But I can now see what you are saying about the bold text and whatnot. If I take the bold off and make the text white instead of black, it should be more readable. If not then I will have to re work the colour scheme... which isn't a big deal.
This little toole is handy for generating colour schemes
