What do you think of this design guys? I was using a more traditional theme before, but I came across this and thought I'd give it a try. Click on the link in my sig. Appreciate any advice/criticism.
I really hate the shadow on banner text and I usually use shadowing myself. As other's say maybe it is all the gray. Don't know what to suggest for accent color. I am real picky and tend to play with a new design for days before I hit on something I like. Am sure with better designers than I breeze through the design phase. Good luck with site.
Hmmm...fair point smyrl. Maybe I'll change it to something more subtle. Should I add something like orange to the mixture?
I would try and add some graphics or backgrounds. At the moment it comes across as a "made for adsense" blog, which users find difficult to navigate and might end up clicking an ad.
looks alright, but I'd focus on color contrasts more, the banner at the top ain't that great, honostly. Overall, 1-10, I give it a fair 4.5. Like some said, put some nice colors in also.
