Readability Suggestions

[Old Muley]

It's been suggested to me that my website needs some tweaking to be more readable. Currently I'm using a black background with white type. Initially I thought this would be a good look, but the more feedback I get it seems that many people find white on black to be less than optimal. What background/font colors are best for reading type?

Try dark gray on light gray or a light pastel color.
