Some people disable images to make sites load faster. I noticed that
without images your background disappears and the new background is
bright yellow which makes most of the test nearly wash out. I would
suggest a different background color so if images are not displayed the
text is more visible. I also ran the site through a colorblind filter.
I use <http://colorfilter.wickline.org/>;. Just type in the address of
your website and click fetch and filter. It will take a moment but you
can see how the page displays to colorblind individuals. Your line at
the bottom "Last updated on 15-3-2008 @ 7:41:55 [D M Y 24 Hour Clock]"
disappears. You might consider a different color. I hope this helps.
