Description

With the Journal theme, blog descriptions (at the top of tiki-view_blog.php) are displayed with a #b7b7b7 (light gray) text color on a white background. Considering that text is small, this b7b7b7 to #ffffff contrast means that the text is not only hard to read, but even easy to miss, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.

This happens because the Journal theme specifies color #b7b7b7 for class help-block, and because blog descriptions have the help-block class. I understand that help text is made discreet. But frankly, such a low contrast is a readability issue. Moreover, descriptions are not help text. They do not warrant big red text, but with such a small size, I'm not sure they even warrant gray. I would have no problem if they were pure black.

I am not clear on what change(s) are best, but I don't exclude that ideally:

  1. help-block color would be changed
  2. Blog descriptions would be changed to use a different, more prominent class

This is solved in trunk as of r67557. Description no longer use class help-block.
