Kathy, Aesthetics do matter to many readers, and the best thing to avoid is that "wall of words" appearance.  Enough eye candy and they'll stick with it :)

Charles, sometime I change the font to blue, other times I leave it black.  I just like to change it up.

I saw this one but had forgotten to click on it! You're right, there needs to be some visual interest to your blog. There's nothing less interesting than a lengthy, wordy blog with no pictures!
