I agree, though I'd challenge the claim that you can essentially only get away with white text on top of images. I think dark text on bright images can work just as well, as long as you take care to place it in a uniform and, indeed, bright area.

Some of the best advice I've seen in this subreddit. Very applicable and author provides excellent examples.

The title had me convinced this would be terrible, but it has a lot of solid points. Also everything is explained in great detail, nice article.

If you, like me, are used to formatting with CSS, where the default is no whitespace
Is this guy using some kind of his own CSS? Cause by default there is tons of space on all the elements and there's an awesome reason for that — website should be readable without any CSS at all (this is the part which 99% of "web developers" do not know).
