Smile Is black BG is good idea or not?

Originally, i set the background of my blog black, it seems that more people come to my blog ever since i turn it to a white background.

Anyone has the similar experience?

maybe its just that your blog had became more famous, lol. But if you really want black background, don't use white fonts, as in #ffffff. it really hurt the eyes.

lol I don't think it has much effect but white bgs are usually for companies and/or business websites
but I've seen some companies with dark based backgrounds and stuff and actually they're good
it's all about how the content connects to the layout

Bollocks. White backgrounds with a black font-color is exactly the same.

You sure? Because if you use white fonts and black background, there's less than 5% of the screen is black and vice versa.
What i mean is, its really not the same. At least not on computer screen.

I find black backgrounds easier to read with a white font color, than a completely white background with a black font color. It's known that bright white makes your eyes hurt.

From what I know, there are a few browsers that don't load or view black backgrounds very well. There's a (very small) chance I think that maybe having the white background shows better in some of those cases. But I am going off of what I've heard. Could be wrong.
