When people refuse to check out the content of your site because the color scheme is so alarming, it's probably a good idea to change colors a bit. I'd say that you can use those colors, but peel off the saturation on the green and lighten up the black a little bit. I tend to use #111 for "black" backgrounds, and #3f5 or something like that for green. The lower contrast is actually much easier on the eyes. I'm sure there are articles out there on the internet about that, but I'm too lazy to go look for them anyhow.
As far as the content goes, I'm not sure that I see the net advantage of this "terminalcast" idea over either a written tutorial with screen caps or a full video. A written tutorial can provide all of the information that this terminalcast provides, but you can go through it at your own speed. A regular video can show a lot of other different things visually that you're not going to be able to with just terminal text. It's a neat idea, but I just want to know what purpose it will serve.
Thank you for specific color recommendations, much much appreciated. Any idea for a link color. (the orange was a bit of a joke).
The advantadges of a terminalcast compared to a video are as follows.
1. You can copy and paste directly from the screen into your terminal
2. The file size is a lot smaller for the same quality. I will post a huge resolution terminalcast in just a bit, 2560x1600 imagine the size of a video with that resolution.
3. Since its all text, I will be able to search terminalcasts in ways that are not possible with videos.
4. You will be able to go through it at your own pace and set bookmarks, I just haven't implemented that yet.
Granted there are some things you can't show in a terminal, but I have a couple of ideas for getting around that.
Just brighten up the blue some... #38f worked okay when i tried it for the links on the black background.
And those advantages make some sense to me. Thanks for clarifying. I guess as you implement more things the benefits will become clearer. I'll be sure to watch and see what you do.
