Okay, so, I've asked in the box a few times, but never get answers (go figure). So.

People say that the red is hard to read and makes them feel like they're cross-eyed. For me, it's not a problem, but eh. I want to make it visually appealing for more people. I asked if I should change the font color and/or size and got no responses. So, I'm asking here.

What should I do about the color scheme to make it more visually appealing? And should I change the font size?

The profile that I'm questioning about is located here.

I'M BAD AT THE PROFILE THING AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CODE SO SORRY IN ADVANCE ;3; ( hence why I'm using profile coding from a friend )

Yeah, the red on black thing is a little uncomfortable for me. Have you considered a light grey colour? Sometimes if I'm making a profile and the writing looks better in one colour but is a little uncomfortable to read I make it so that it changes to the more readable colour when you hover. For example, your text could remain red but switch to white/grey or something else when hovered upon. Do you think something like that would work for you?

; Thanks for the suggestion ^o^ I'm not entirely sure how that works; I'd definitely be willing to do that, if I could find the code for it.

{color: ;} :hover {color: ;}

Replace the 0's with the hex colour codes you want. That shooould work. This explains how hovers work to style links, if you're interested in learning about it. It's basically the same principle for whatever you want to change. So you could also consider instead of changing the text colour upon hover, maybe change the background colour:

{background-color: ;} :hover {background-color: ;}

Again, changing the 0's to the appropriate hex numbers.

Does that make sense? >< I took your code and made an example of the background hover on my pet here, if you wanted to see a live example: [x] (i'll take it down once you've seen it ^^)

; So, you'd prefer to read that red text on a white background? e_e For me, that hurts my eyes. x) My problem with changing the background color, is I'd have to change all the colors of the text as well, since both bold and italics are differently colored than just regular text, as well as links. I mean, no matter what colors I change things to, there's always going to be someone out there who doesn't like the colors, so... meh. x.x

it's a little better than the black for me, but It was mostly just done to show you an example of the effect. I'm sure you can find a better colour >.<
