Default Gray text is hard to read. Pale gray is impossible!

I think you've made a great start. it's clean and attractive.

However, the body text is gray. That makes it harder to read.

The light gray links are *very* hard to read.

The pale gray type (such as the date of each post) is illegible.

I know that gray type is terribly trendy these days, and it probably came with your theme, but it's the first thing you should change.

Black on white type is the easiest to read, especially in long posts.

After all, if people can easily read your blog, they stay long enough to click on ads and possibly make you some money. They may even recommend it to friends.

If they leave right away because the text is tiring to read, or it's too hard to read the titles of the categories and the list of recent posts, you lose the chance to influence them. And they are less likely to return or to recommend the site to friends.

I hope this helps.

Good luck with your site!
