Blog Design

When designing this blog, I wanted to keep it simple.  I haven't changed the original template very much, as I felt the dark background gave good contrast to the text.  Most of the text is either in white or grey, with the Title and Widgets in a neon green.  I felt that this gave good contrast and allowed the reader to see the different areas and parts of the site.  Also, by having the darker background and color scheme, any videos or pictures in my blog posts seem to "pop", and really draw your attention.  I placed the widgets that I felt would be used the most on the right sidebar, and then used a video bar down near the footer.  My Feedback form is just above the video bar, as it is rather large, and I felt it looked best near the bottom of the page, though I would rather have it on its own Page.  Overall, I feel the site is easy to navigate, organized in a basic way, and is designed to be minimalistic, yet still being very modern and bright.
