I have only one note that I think would help out the readability, some of the tags are only a subtle difference fromt the body text. It would be easier to see on some pages, like http://iowabrewersunion.ning.com/notes/index/allNotes, if the headers were a little darker. On this page it is specifically thetag. A little bigger and darker, even slightly different color would help. Thanks
