    The theme looks a bit plain, I think you should add some graphics into the
    header.

    Yeah. There is nothing that makes your theme stand out to others.

    The left sidebar links looks good..but, as other members said, the header and the right sidebar looks a bit dull.

    I don't know but I think the orange, blue and green color mix doesn't go along with each other. Layout should be ok then.

    The font you use in the article is small and the line height (line spaces between texts lines) isn't height enough, make the article hard to read.

    About the sidebar, it's ok but not that great, I don't like it. You should use "arrow pointer" when mouse over the sidebar links. the small circle icons that you use in your sidebar when view the page in IE, they do not light up when mouse over.

    There are two thick horizontal lines at the bottom below the footer, are they parts of this design?

    Thanks guys for constructive criticism. Its just plain because i dont want to make it look like a wordpress blog. Just wanted to look like a static html site. But i still need to work on images... I am just learning to design right.. :) Is there a tool to see if what color combinations is good in the eye? Please let me have the link and that will be really helpful.

    This is my latest work Background Search Access a wordpress theme also.

    The links are not working, but your ideea for this theme is good. You should add new content. Great work.
