I'll just pick your brains for a second if you don't mind. would white text on a dark grey background also be hard to read? Thanks for that.

I'm old and my vision has always been crappy, white on black is physically difficult for me to read. A lot of photo blogs do this because it makes the photos look great, it totally does. But for me, readability goes WAY down when there's white text on a dark background and I won't bother to read because it gives me eyestrain. http://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=white+text+on+a+black+background It’s a readability thing.

It's just brilliant, but just one question. Is the 'white on a black background' really such a horrible thing? I have met many people who say they are perfectly ok with it and a few that hate it? what's the best alternative if you definitely don't want the classic grey letters on a white screen? My blog is white on black, and I do it to make the pictures pop, but I don't want it to prevent people from reading the blog. Denise I really enjoyed ‘six reasons I broke up with your blog’.
