bigger and more colorful fonts

i've been playing around with my fonts in this diary, i found the 11 font a tad difficult to read, especially when i was tired...so i upped it to a 12 font. whaddya think? easier on the eyes? i also thought the white on black was also difficult...so i switched to this fuschia color. give me your comments...is it easier to read? i also thought of using blue or purple. let me know your thoughts since you are the ones reading!

thanks for the input!
