I never thought white on black was hard to read.  I'll have to keep that in
mind.

I must say I hate it myself.  I have been researching cameras lately and
there is a specific site, VERY good info, but white on black.  What a strain
it is reading that site.  8-(  I must say I went there and read their info,
every time, but every time came away cursing the eyestrain.

The thing to always remember in building a site is "it isn't what we like
that matters", at least in terms of preferences.

Drew,

Thanks for warning me that you use white on black. Ugh!  I will never
visit your website. <grin>

Oh, okay.  Personally I like to stick to black and white, as often as
possible.  Literally.  I use black backgrounds with white text.  I just
think it sticks out better then black on white.  However, something to
keep in mind, color is nice, however, a large portion of the population
is color blind to a certain extent.  Always be sure that places where
color is used, and differentiating things of different color is
important, to use colors that 'clash' spectrally, so even if someone is
seeing it as shades of grey (a severe color blind person), they would
still see the difference.

That's my only tip......
