So is fly dropping sized fonts.
Enlarging the font a *lot* does not help the readability. It reamins very
hard to read light grey on white.
What for bloody &deity;'s sake is wrong with simple BLACK on WHITE, you
know, just like you are reading now, in your newsreader?
Why does everybody who spews together a web page these days insist on bloody
unredable pastel colours? It's giving me the shits.

Links aren't underlined and use the same colour as ordinary copy: how can
a casual visitor know what's a link and what isn't? By waving their mouse
over every piece of text on the page?
Wasteful repetitive inline styles, e.g.
<b style='font-size: 80%; float: right; margin-right: 10px'>
Use a class instead.
Not using proper mark up, e.g.
<b>A few favourites of mine</b><br /><br />instead of
<h2>A few favourites of mine</h2>
and surely that list of films should be a list?
<h1>appears towards the bottom of the page.
Hit counter appears floating on top of everything else at the top of the
page.
Links to June/July/August/September appear on every page and all link to
blank pages.

(a) The contrast between the text and the background is waaay too low.
(b) Specify the text in '%' ....... 100% for the body of the text.
Specifying it in px means that IE users can't increase the size of the
text to something readable without going into 'accessibility mode'.
Unfortunately, you've also specified a line height in px (which IE
retains) and so that in 'accesibility mode' the text becomes pretty
unreadable:
www.gododdin.demon.co.uk/ng/PAR01.JPG (27k)
(c) You could, perhaps, put in a more useful <title></title>
(d) The site needs a *lot* more use of headings ( <h1><H2><h3><h4>,
etc.) to help users of assistive technology (screen readers, etc.) to
navigate the site more easily.
(e) mark up any lists in the HTML as 'lists'
(f) Put an 'invisible' note at the start of the page to the effect that
'all blog comments open in a new window'. Users of AT who miss the audio
queue that a new window is opening may well get a little confused ;-)
(g) Sounds OK .. and with a few changes, should look OK too.
Just a few thoughts.
regards.
