Currently, I am working on a wordpress blog design. Not sure what color to use. So, what do you think?

Generally, do you prefer light or dark background?
I have both backgrounds in separate blogs. White space has greater readability, hence usability, since we are more accustomed to it and black text do stand out in a white background. I use it on a general topic blogged in difference to those whose sights are failing. I have a black blog for more upbeat topics and the color is a personal preference.
