Font/Color/Design

I first started out with a much more graphic setup to this blog and quickly realized that a simpler, direct approach would be best.  I want the information that I include in my blog to shine, not the flashy graphics or distracting animations.  I went with a soothing color scheme of tans and greens to keep with the "natural" theme.  The background is simple shelves of books so that the reader immediately recognizes the blog as having to do with reading/books/library.  I tend to gravitate towards simple fonts such as Arial, Verdana, or Trebuchet.
