Should I or shouldn't I?

We've just put up a wooden garden shed and I've applied wood preserver to the outside. I was wondering about painting the inside of the shed to brighten things up. On one website I've seen warnings against painting the inside of wooden sheds as it's supposed to trap water in the wood causing rotting, yet on others people seem to be happily painting the inside of theirs. The key for me is longevity and keeping the wood/shed longlasting and as dry as possible inside. Any thoughts?

Always apply plenty of preservative to the underneath of the shed, and raise ity up on 4 x 4 wooden bearers, then around the gap underneath put some chicken wire, to stop animals getting underneath and dying.

Fotorat,nice bikes shame about the poor quality chains holding them secure.
