It has been shown that people are getting more 'internet savvy these days' and are able to see 'something that might be a link' even when it is far from blue. Underlines seem to be the key, but even those are not required anymore! Current research disagrees with your Chris.

If urls are any other color than blue some people do not know they are links. Simple sometimes is best for blog designs. I think a white background with black text and blue links always works best.

I love the fact about colors being hard to read. I see so many people make site look nice and not worry if it has eye strain or hard to see text. I would also suggest that the main points be made above the fold of page and make sure page loads fast. Do not use alot of images that slow pages down people will just leave the site. Great article.

Designing your blog for any resolution under 1024 width would be a mistake. And fortunately, these days there are so many free blog templates out there so basically that's one less thing you have to worry about. And if you ever get tired of it, you can easily just change your template since the process of doing so is very simple. Yeah, i agree with Simon.
