Yep, i finally got tired of staring at white on my blog.  Though i liked the white
for posting photographs, and i liked the clean look (it reminds me of  the walls of
an art gallery).  But, i wanted something that does not project so much light. 
It has to be a background that is a little easier on the eyes for reading.  Plus, i
think that these colours give it a more personal feeling, like a front porch swing,
or a living room couch.

And i still like having all the extra stuff at the bottom of the page. easy to find yet
not calling-out from the side of the page like a hot dog vendor at a baseball game.
