<\/a>I had heard from some readers of this blog, from time to time, that the background basically rendered the blog unreadable. I changed from the binary core background to a plain dark green, and more recently to a transparent one.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am grateful to one reader who took the time to exchange e-mails about this, since it helped me discover that the issue was arising for those who use Firefox. Apparently Blogger\u2019s blog templates are not<\/em> created with Firefox in mind. And so one reason I\u2019m sharing this is that there may be other bloggers with Blogger\u00a0 blogs who may benefit from this information. Making the background transparent seems to make an enormous difference.<\/span><\/div>\n

If you know anyone who reads (or perhaps used to read) this blog and uses Firefox, do let them know that we seem to have solved the problem. And I apologize for any soreness to the eyes caused by previous designs!<\/span><\/p>\n
