Website Background

Recently (because of complaints) I've been wondering about changing the background and text color on my website.

here the link is:
here

Some people find the orange "old fashioned" and "annoying".
Does anyone have any good color suggestions?

Thanks,

Ouch........ I'm blind

Similar color........just not quite as hard on the eyeballs.

Although, a plain white background would offer less distraction for the toons

I think a tan background looks good with black text.Or maybe a border on each edge with a white center also looks pretty good.

www.free-backgrounds.com has some nice backs as well

IMO that is

survey!

Hey! Thanks for all of the help so far.

I made several test pages with some of the reccomended colors. Please make a vote for your favorite.

test page #1
test page 2
test page 3
test page 4

I personally like the navy blue with white background the best, but start voting!

Thanks,
