I can probably host the files for you, and you can submit stuff
automatically on my site:

Email me if that's any good to you.

It is low intensity blue as well. The font size is fixed so can not
adjust this.

Unless you can click over to viewing it with a local stylesheet.

(This is not to suggest that such a workaround is preferrable to good
design.)

I don't care if it is sky blue pink if there is a contrasting font. And for
gosh sakes, stay away from some cute multi background like swaying wheat or
cornfields or barking dogs.

white background is the best for alot of text

No, bright white is too bright, it is like somebody shining a flash
light in your face. The default background in the windows operating
system is light grey, and many prefer other light colors as
background.

Try Times New Roman 14p, black text on a light beige-yellow
background. That is very easy to read and not aggressive like bright
white backgrounds are.

Save bright white for effects and in parts of pictures and icons.

So true awful color combo..

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I've been concentrating
on the backend and content and just slapped a (restful to me bacause I
tend to work in the dark) colour scheme over the top. As a temporary
measure; I've increased the font size and changed all the text to a much
higher contrasting colour.
I shall decide on a new colour scheme and rework it. The site looks
particularly awful in Mozilla and derivatives (I've just discovered)
because it overrides the CSS and changes all links to 'default
blue'...the only cure for that is to change the background to a light
one, which I'm not going to do.
Back to the drawing board.

You need to go outside more ..look at all the big sites they all use
white.. web dev. teams have done research ..and white comes on top easilty

Just so you know where your code stands: like with Mozilla, it's blue
text on black, here, in Opera and Konqueror (which does not use Moz's
Gecko rendering engine), as well. The latter means there's a good
chance it's the same in the current Mac browser. This isn't a Mozilla
issue.

Thanks Blinky. In Opera, which does pick up the CSS, it was a deliberate
blue on black. Mozilla seems to change the links to a pure blue (#0000FF -
darker than the one I intended) and ignores the CSS.
I've changed the colours now (white and yellow on dark blue, I think); but
my ISP caches...so I'm not going to see what it actually looks like for a
while. I think I've got a workaround for the mozilla thing too...

Just went and looked. Much better!!! I personally would prefer a little
more contrast but this is readable. Thanks.

Anything to oblige. =
I already changed it to an even higher-contrast colour scheme, but it
doesn't seem to be playing....I'll show it who's boss tonight.

Try Times New Roman 14p,

Serif'd fonts like Time New Roman are not usually a good idea on a web
page (or anywhere that is going to be viewed mainly on a screen).
Screens generally have a resolution of about 75 dpi, which results in
the serifs getting a bit blurry. This doesn't happen on printers which
average about 300 dpi resolution. Better to use Arial, or any other
sans-serif font for screen content.

Also, the font size shouldn't be fixed. It can't take account of the
viewer's screen size/resolution or their sight capability. Use ems
instead. That way if the viewer wants the font size increasing or
decreasing it's easy to do this in the browser.
