White Text and Black Page

[jacobwissler]

Does anyone know if CSS white text on a black page might result in a hidden text penalty, because when you click on the Google cached page, and then click on view cached text, the page is solid black.

If you click on cached page but do NOT click on view cached text, the page appears normal.

It may, but I don't think it will. When I use this text/background color combo, I make sure to code the styles in the page. It's probably unnecessary, but I don't like to take chances.

Are you saying I should not use CSS? I was thinking the same thing.

ROTFL! I think I know what you meant when you said this, Jacob, but when read without the context of the rest of this thread this quote is an instant classic.

I am not one to use templates and never have, but I particularly like this one:
http://www.r7designer.com/free_templates/black_as_day/index.htm and am thinking about using it for a client redesign.

There are some nice templates on that Site.

Let me phrase this another way, can anyone point to a site with a black page, and white letters, done in CSS, that has a PR avove 4? I do not wish to say anything for or against CSS, except that with a black page, there may be problems. This is a question, not a statement.
