Your Prostate Rumination blog is beautiful. Clean and simple. I love the header.
I do find the links to your posts a bit hard to read because of the color. Pink/magenta doesn't make much contrast with the white background.
Did you try making the links purple? That would be so much easier to read, and it would work well with the purple background at the sides of the page.
I've been designing books, web sites, and other publications for a many years, and I'm currently on a rant about pale-colored type in blogs. Yours is not bad, but a darker link color (or slightly bolder type) would serve you better, IMO.
Incidentally where are you located? In the U.S. that would be a highly unusual color combination for attracting a male audience.
In other countries (particularly in Asia, I've noticed), men don't seem so inhibited about using color. I think that's great!
However, if your audience is intended to include U.S. men, the colors could be an issue. That is, many U.S. men might hesitate to forward the link to their friends for fear of being teased about it.
I hope this is useful. It *is* a beautiful blog.
