Black Backgrounds
I've heard two schools of thought on black backgrounds.
Some people say that black increases readability by reducing the brightness of the light that you're staring into. Others say that black is a typical n00b choice and looks amateur.
The site I'm designing right now is yellow text (ffff00) on a black background. I haven't finalized these choices yet, and before I do, I'd like to put them out to the people who know websites. I wish I could post a link, but I don't have hosting yet, so it's on my home server (read: desktop w/ IIS) and I don't want to DoS myself.
