I am red green colour blind. However, I don't use crome so maybe this is the cause of the issue. Hey Aido,

Web Accessibility is something that I take very seriously. Having work with some of the biggest brands online and <a href="http://www.segala.com/blog" rel="nofollow">our company </a>having direct involvement, participation an contributions to <a href="http://w3c.org" rel="nofollow">WCAG </a>guidelines its something I'd take seriously at all times with all Web Content. Your difficulty in reading the content on my blog is my problem, in fact the onus is on the Web site owner to ensure equal access to all. The problem is this can easily go ignore or mostly its down to the lack of awareness for some site owner and it only becomes a problem when its an issues for themselves. I'm interested to know which parts of the site you cannot read or "those bits you could not easily read" I suspect the main issue is with the links which are a light grey and they do not contrast well against the white background. 99% of all content published is black text on a white background, I access that the colour of each post heading could be also something that you may have issue with. Im not going to brush you off by sayingyou could simply disable the CSS, why should you have to do that? Instead, I'll provide a work around possibly a better contrasting CSS where all light colours on the white background are more easily read. Hope this makes your visits better :) Thanks for visiting and taking time out to make the comment. <a href="http://twitter.com/aido" rel="nofollow">Aido</a> Hi CP,

I am color blind (deuteranopia in my case). I mostly use Chrome browser (unsure if that changes anything), and a great deal of your web page is a little difficult for me to read. I know that it is not your problem really, nonetheless it would be great if you would bear in mind the color blind while doing the next site re-working.
