For example, if they say they need donations to cover hosting costs but receive more than enough and start spending it on themselves, then that's pretty dishonest. However, I don't see a problem with donation buttons in general, as they're easy to ignore if I personally don't want to donate -- so much less intrusive than advertisements. Even still, I wouldn't put one on my website, as blogging is just a hobby. Ctrl++ is one of the greatest features web browsers have, in my opinion.

If I'm able to figure it out in the future, I'll definitely let you know. I tend to have problems with WordPress occasionally, especially during the past few weeks. Seems like it doesn't like me anymore. T_T Nah, I don't think it has got anything to do with skills. I think we might just have different settings in Photoshop or something which might have cause the colours to be rendered differently on different browsers. :) I have absolutely no idea why the colour is wonky on my browser.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the help and assistance you've given me with my layout. I think that the purple definitely looks a lot better, though it's a shame it looks a bit funny in your browsers! Perhaps I will have to edit the image and try and make it into a transparent PNG. WordPress usually upgrades well for me, but I get paranoid so I have to back up everything before I upgrade! I'm not awfully good at graphics and you do a much better job than me! So it's probably no wonder I get all these problems with my coding when I try to do something fancy. :down: Thank you so much for your suggestions though! Hi Dayna!

I especially get annoyed by "coming soon!" statements next to non-existent links in the navigation. I don't see the point in putting up a new title in the navigation unless that section already exists! I agree with you on all counts.

The other pink in the header looks all right to me. :) The pink font colour of the links is too light imo. The other pink in the header looks all right to me. :)

As technology advances, our screens are getting bigger. Hence, the small font size is also increasingly difficult to read. Perhaps a decade ago, small font size is still acceptable due to the small screen size. Cute is one thing but readability is another because it’s really difficult to read.
