I've had some feedback from some helpful people here(thanks guys). Based on it i've changed a few things, especially the colours. It's a jpg image of a design 'sketch' i'm working on: http://www.freebunch.com/Graphics/template2.jpg Any feedback is helpful, especially on the colours!
I commented on this awhile ago and I agree it's becoming easier on the eyes. I use a laptop so the smaller and closer the font the harder it is to scan over and see if I'm interested in the content.
I think there is a little to much blue. With my site (traffic site in signiture) i used lots of blue but not near as much as yours. I spose it would be good for a kids site if it is one.
try 2 use contrast colours. dnt use more dark colour.whn u r usin contrast colour. it will look gud. Abhilash.
