  2. Never can we afford to think in future that it's just "another pair of shoes".
    Thanks for the class on shoe making and thanks,of course, to Ramesh for his lovely blogging.

  5. If you can change the background colour it would give a better contrast and make the page more readable.

    2. Let the black yellow licks of fire remain as the underlay gives some relief from the large area of white. In my opinion, the present design is OK but why cannot a faint yellow background be given to the text as that may reduce the glare from the large area of white?
