That's okay, I really appreciate the feedback! I'll give this some thought and see if I can tweak the colours a little. I often find myself falling back on Firefox's 'Reader View' if I find a website's colour theme a bit too jarring.

Would you consider it against the intention of your site to include either a dark/light theme toggle, a prefers-color-theme CSS style, or both?

I'll have a look at what I can do with prefers-color-scheme. It seems like a good solution. Thank you for the suggestion!

The colors are fine. It's the text measure (around 90) that's having the user do too much work. That should be around 55-60.

I've never heard this term 'text measure' before. Do you mean the number of characters per-line in the main content column? I tried to research the optimal column width, but the answers seem to vary so much. Just doing a quick search online right now: This source[1] says 55-100, which is a pretty big range. Although this source[2] claims that research suggests that "Reading speed was highest at 95cpl, and lowest at 35cpl on screen".

I'll take your suggestion on-board at any rate, and might make some adjustments to the font-size, or cpl. Thanks for your help!

Yep, that's the one. It depends on how many curveballs you're throwing at the user. I'm working on a monospace library that looks wide at 48 characters per line.

That's what the inverted text is here, a curveball. It's not the problem itself but it is asking more of the user every line. Just eyeballing it, .blog-entry looks correct, at least text measure wise, with a max-width of 500px.

If you have to use Reader View that is a clear sign that the website is broken.
