    In presentation skills workshops we are usually told to work with light backgrounds as they don’t overwhelm the eyes at first glance. I think the same should hold true on the web. Anyways, now I’ll go and read the linked article.

    I prefer dark on light. Light on dark–particularly true white on true black–is more difficult to read, even than true black on true white. But that’s my opinion. I tend to shy away from the extremes on this issue, but my site currently sports black text on a white background because it goes with the design I was after. Usually, though, I’ve got either dark grey or dark khaki text on a cream or off-white background.

    Next, he’ll bash sans-serif fonts! I’m not sure it’s intentional, but his post is a textbook case of designer linkbaiting. :)
