First of all, I find your colour schemes funny, but indeed hard to
read.  B/W is better for mealthough switching requires Javascript
(after switching it on, it worked for me (Galeon (w/ Mozilla engine),
Linux Debian 3.1)).

This is useful to know.  I'm not very web savvy at all, so if I hear
of JavaScript that does something I want to do, I use it.  However,
if X can be done with or without JavaScript, I think it's useful to
know that it should be done without, for maximum compatibility.

If you want to improve the B/W stylesheet to even more match my
personal taste, try switching off the all-bold font.

I *believe* all my bold is on the stylesheet...  (I could test this by
turning it off on the black and white side.)  If so, others could turn
it off by providing their own stylesheet, as Mark suggested.  I
but everything in bold on my site because I find the *non-bold*
hard to read.  ;p  Bold looks great on Safari for the Mac. I have
noticed it doesn't look as great on other browsers, though...

What might make it even easier is for you to diminish the size of
your letters a bit, and put black on cream.

Don't know about the black on cream, but I think pretty much
every browser will let you change the size of the letters to
anything you want (as well as the font).  I view everything in
14pt Palatino.

Opera comes with a menu-choice that can force b/w

That's cool!

And now a tip to all and everyone presenting their conlangs on the web:
To select colors that'll work even for colorblind people, test your
pages here: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/
Then learn how to improve them here:

Ah, this is what I was hoping to find!  Thanks for the link!
