White text is easier to read – fact or fiction?

Well, here I am on WordPress. So let’s start with the basics. My first challenge was to find a theme. There’s a popular belief that white text on a black background is easier to read than black on white. So I thought I’d put it to the test right here. That’s why I chose this fetching mono set-up. And this is where I need some help from any journalists, designers and general creatives who might be reading this. Please vote on your preference, and maybe we’ll nail a myth or confirm what I’ve heard about screen text readability. Thanks in advance for voting. Please leave a comment if you feel strongly one way or another. Maybe someone’s even done some research.
