I'll think about it. :) I totally trust your opinion, I respect your
skills and experience in this area a LOT.

So many big words! ;) Saturation, Hue, Depth, Contrast. I don't know
those words. :(
Well, the link colour will stay blue. What colour contrasts from blue?
What do you mean by "getting some depth"? Blue and orange are
opposites, I thought they would go well together.
I want a non-white backround if possible, just because I find white a
little too bright sometimes. I could leave all the orange text black
but then there would be no character in the design at all. :)
Thanks for your help,
Jim
