My Cached site showing black text on black :(

    Should I worry if my site is showing up in the google cache as having some black on a black beackground :eek:

    http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:3Lz1bn6opT4J:www.blingtones.co.uk/+blingtones&hl=en

    If you look at my site you will see it appears ok, I'm worried because I know Google can penalise for this.

    Any suggestions on this?

    Just discovered that it looks fine is Mozilla Firefox :( Which should I trust and more importantly is this a big problem?

    I wouldn't worry about the Google cache as long as it looks okay normally.

    I see no problems either.

    One thing I would say is that I've had google cache problems like this when using CSS. I don't know why this should be, but being very specific with backgrounds for each layre seems to sort the problem.

    Another interesting thing is the use of CSS absolute positioning. Then the page is visible in the cache without the Google header. Mixing relative and absolute positioning can completely screw up the cache.

    Might have deviated a little here.....


    :D

    Cheers lads/ladies, appreciate the comments because last thing I want is getting banned before I have even started :rolleyes:

    Am I also right in thinking that if yahoo/google shows my newest page in the cache it may take a while to update it's position in the search engine when people search for things?

    I say this because the description on the search result is showing the old title but has the new page in the cache
