Hi all, If I use an blue image for a background on a page and white font is there any chance spiders will think I am hiding text? Thanks, Frank
I would think you will be safe if you either set up the background image and font in an external style sheet, or declare both the background image and the font on the page using HTML. I would opt to set up both in the style sheet, which the search engines do not currently read. The HTML will therefore look just like the standard black text on a white background. No room for misinterpretation. Your code could possibly be misinterpreted as a white font on a white background if you used CSS for the background image and an HTML font color attribute to set up the white font. All the search engines would see is the HTML. I currently use XHTML for all my sites, so all of this is done through CSS.
