Re: Backgrounds and graphics
I took the liberty of making the changes. I saved everything so we can roll back if you want.
I removed the "logo", because that's what the masthead is for (btw, masthead is journalism jargon for the place where the fancy name goes, most web people incorrectly call everything "logo").
It's very tight up top and this makes the site display the most text without requiring the user to scroll.
LOL this is SO overwrought I know... it's part of what I used to do for a livin' 
The problem now is giving you, Kat and N5RDC a place to do your creative whim stuff. N5RDC still can activate his ticker at will, so then that leaves you and Kat.
You can both use the bottom of the page (where the roses are), but that's not very exciting is it, being on the bottom and all.
I have an idea for something, but I won't have time to test it for a week or so.

Re: Backgrounds and graphics
I haven't even been cheching this forum. It's always been my opinion that the darker shades of any color serve better as backgrounds, and sometimes I opt for a solid black for my desktop background. The most persistant problem is that when you change the background, you may need to change other colors as well. (I hate the sites that use a black background with dark red text)
But regardless, I would do it the easiest way. I don't prefer any specific color as long as there is good contrast.

Re: Backgrounds and graphics
Chit, I see you set the background to grey. Should I interpret this to mean you wish to continue to change the background color?
I'll assume yes, which is perfectly fine. When I get around to it, I will update the masthead so it doesn't depend on a black background.

Re: Backgrounds and graphics
It meant that if you put a black cat abainst a black background, it won't show up very well.
