Again, I agree!

I think the main paper background should have a wider space between the lines, I think that will make it much much easier to read.

And yeah post it notes would look awesome for the side bar, or plain paper with a thumbtack in the corner.

Also I think the side links could be a little bigger and perhaps in comic sans, or century gothic or something like that.

Out of curiosity, what browsers are you guys having trouble seeing the main text using ?

What's your browsers default, and minimum font size ?
In Firefox you'll find that in "Tools -> Options -> [font section] Advanced".

Opera is "Tools -> Preferences -> Webpages -> 'normal' and 'monospace' font". Opera doesn't have a minimum font size setting that I'm aware of.

I'm not sure about where IE puts it.

Well, I am glad to say I helped Joe fix a problem that was annoying the freakin crap out of me, the problem was because I have a high res AND a very bright quality LCD, I was seeing a tiny one pixel line on the paper background, on the top and bottom of each line, that was making it look as though there was grey lines all the way across the page.. But Joe could not see it. Spoof, is that what you were seeing too?

But now its fixed, I can read the text perfectly now. Thank god!

Hmmm... did you darken the paper Joe? Whatever you ended up changing, the text is significantly more difficult to read now. I thought it was fine the way it was before.

Well I had two options, increase the space between the lines or get rid of them. I didn't want to get feedback telling me the text doesn't line up with the lines, so I went the obvious route. :)

I might get get in the mood to revamp the sidebar tomarrow morning.

I like it better now without the lines anyway. It looks less cluttered. With the lines there was too much noise... too much going on, and it was somewhat distracting.
