Thanks very much for your feedback and comments about my site. You make a good point about the menu items, and I hadn’t really noticed it before. The light grey colour of the inactive menu items was supposed to be somewhat subdued compared to the active or mouseover colours. However, when I picked those colours I was still using the original pure black background, so they were a little easier to see. Now that I have switched to the rosewood background they are harder to see, and I will try to fix that.

I had a look at your site as well, and that is one beautiful home you have for sale!

Thanks again,

Andrew

I have come back to Wordpress after a sortee with Drupal and Joomla which challenged my fledgling skills in html and CSS.

I like your site and the drama of your photos on black. The rosewood unfortunately is somewhat lost on my monitor (could be age – its, not mine). I also use the Chrome browser which I love, but it sometimes has limitations (mostly forgivable and continually improving). I would only mention that the headings in the sidebar and menu headings (in particular) are hard to see. When I first visited the site, I had to scroll across the top menu to highlight before I could find headings and see how to contact you.

I also use the black for drama on my own site. In fact I recently posted an article on living in an architecturally designed home and loved how the black set off the photo. I experimented with the light font in bold to improve readability.

Cheers!
