I made a few changes:<br /><br />What I did is up the font one point (hoping that will help some and zooming can finish the job) and increased the contrast a tad. I changed the recently viewed links to gold, like the Tower of London in the pic, instead of the dark color. The one thing I don't like is that the title of a post recently viewed is quite a bit of gold, but when someone arrives at the blog it is the accent color green, and if they click on that post it turns white (which is actually a very pale orange). Only if they return to the blog later will the title be gold. So not too bad. I hope it helps those who had trouble seeing things.Debra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-56503916287941574372014-04-24T15:29:27.703-07:002014-04-24T15:29:27.703-07:00I'm trying to keep a pleasant, easy on the eye...I'm trying to keep a pleasant, easy on the eyes look with harmonious colors.

The dark colored links are the ones you have recently visited. Are those the only ones that give you trouble? I will try increasing the font size, too, but it might be better if people can zoom in since many of the posts are fairly long and it affects the general appearance. The information is more important, however, if zooming in doesn't do the job.Debra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-83951126791242284682014-04-24T10:55:13.102-07:002014-04-24T10:55:13.102-07:00Lovely story, well told and packs in quite a lot o...Lovely story, well told and packs in quite a lot of stuff I had no idea of.

Admire the writing and knowledge behind each of these offerings. The images enhance it all. Congratulations on this worthwhile effort.
