Just changed directory colors...what do you think?

I've just ben messing around with one of my directories.

Changed a few colors/positions etc.

Comments please
Thankyou.

Doesn't get many clicks.Any advice on ad placement would be appreciated too.

Ps it used to be a greeny color

Whats the URL?

 

Heehee.It's early.Need cigs and coffee.

Edited first post

Sorry

 

Ah well. Early here too.

The things that stand out is that the site is very bright blue with all those links right there on the screen. Might want to tone it down with css and make it easier.

For ads they dont seem to be too integrated. Might want to use a 300x250? (Cant remember the exact sizes) and put them closer to the links.

Overall it's getting there

 

Blue seems very nice to me.

 

Thanks guys.
A bit more to do yet I think but need to go to work now

Will have another go later.

 

something wrong with the colors, not sure what.

i think it is because there is no lead color.

 

white bg color would be nice, place the top directories info stats somewhere else

 

Done and done.
Still seems to have something missing though.
Even though I'm no good at graphics I might give a header a go.

 

Im using 1280 screen resolution, and its look odd.
I dont like the header, maybe if you set the layout to fixed size, the header will fit nicely, otherwise, change the header into white bg, and put logo or text there, left align, dont center align

 

Moved the header to left.
I really don't want to change the color of it.It took me ages to do and I'm rubbish at graphics (as you can tell)

Thanks for the input.

 

it's better now, good luck.

 

Well seems neat but try to increase the width of banner or add some good logo.. .it wud b really eye catchy n visitors may stick to your website for longer time...thats wat i think

 

The latest featured links description is comming over the thumbnails of the site's pic.
