Make Your Writing Stand Out With a Light Background for Your Blog

When it comes to blogging, it’s absolutely brilliant to have different colours throughout the page to ensure that your blog is aesthetically pleasing; where your actual blog content is written however, it is perhaps for the best to provide dark coloured text on a light background.

Black/dark text on a white/light background is a tried and tested method, and provides absolutely fantastic clarity for your readers. It may not be particularly original, but it works, and it doesn’t always hurt to follow the crowd.

TheBuckmaker.com’s range of themes all feature white backgrounds, and work incredibly well as a result. They feature beautiful background images which are definitely very pleasant on the eye, but the actual writing area is always of a light colouring, with dark text utilised to absolutely fantastic effect.

Those that are active on the web come across light backgrounds with dark text all the time; it’s what people’s eyes are used to, and in many instances it’s what they like to see. There are definitely some dark background themes that make terrific use of light coloured text; the majority of blogs and websites do tend to stick to the tried and tested formula however, and it’s a definite web convention that does work very well.

TheBuckmaker.com has a wonderful range of WordPress blog themes that use the light background/dark text formula, and although you may like the idea of switching the two contrasting colours around; think carefully before you do so, as you may just disappoint a large percentage of your readers.

    I may start doing this. I write a post a lof poetry on http://www.unitedworldpoets.com and I’ve noticed a lot of people use pictures in their poetry blogs. I think I have done it like one time (because I’m lazy) but I think I might start looking for cool pictures to post with my poem so that my poetry stands out.
