🧵Blog Post 5: My Blog's Color Scheme Is a Cry for Help

Or: This Blog is This Color? Really?

Can we talk about the color scheme?

I don’t know how it happened. I vaguely recall setting “something-or-the-other” as the background in 2011. Might have been beige. That beige has since evolved — nay, mutated — into something resembling sunburnt cardboard. The font color is somewhere between “dusty regret” and “accidental plum.”

It’s not even ironic.

People visit my blog and squint. Not at the ideas — at the contrast. It’s like trying to read poetry carved into an overripe avocado.

I tried fixing it once.
I clicked into Blogger’s Advanced Theme Editor and was immediately offered 400 customizable settings, all helpfully labeled things like:

• Widget Border Hover

• Outer Sidebar Link Glow

• Footer Divider Top Shadow Horizontal (?)

I panicked. Again.
Changed nothing.
Closed tab.
Ate chocolate.
