This new color scheme on the site makes my eyeballs hurt. I’ll do something about it before too long. But, hey, at least it’s not as boring now.

My blog uses blue and white also, and it hurts my eyes also on some new monitors and laptops. I think that it depends upon the resolution of the monitor and the the amount of space that is bright white.
If you fiddle and come up with a reason why not to use this scheme please let me know.
There is also the question of page width. I go with using the full page, as you are doing. Daily Kos throws away width on either side.
Since Daily Kos has a thousand times as many readers as we do I suspect that perhaps Kos knows something that we don’t. But I always think, why throw away good space on either side of the page? Why not put buttons and stuff there?
I and the vast majority of Virginia bloggers probably have no formal design experience. So if you care to pass along anything that you discover about page layout I would appreciate it.
Go with a nice neutral in place of the blue. An olive green or a deep tan.
Wow. Umm, it is nice to see that you are changing things around a little here, and I love the colors orange and blue. But I definitely agree with you, keep playing around with it. A good color scheme should pop up sooner or later.
Black text on blue background is hard to read.
Not a sermon. Just a thought.
The blue conflagration is exactly what happened when I hacked out a redesign for my blog.
Orange and blue? I would have expected an orange and maroon theme. :)
The colors are bold, but then again, I’ve never known any task of yours to be neutral or demure.
I second Chad R. that you should avoid UVA colors.
