    Hi

    my article website looks pretty smooth (i think, lol) but i feel there is possibly too much orange? i'd like a contrasting colour maybe to balance it out, but theni would need to consider reasons WHY links are specific colours.

    take a look: http://www.writeitonthewall.co.uk/

    ideas appreciated, thanks

    The orange and black is a tad overpowering and halloweenish. If you could make the orange darker I think it that would make it much easier to read. For the "NEW!" stuff the light green doesn't stand out at all, changing it to blue would really draw your eyes to it. Hope that helps.

    Firefox 3.0a8 But not many use it yet so i guess you shouldn't worry too much about it.Who knows maybe the prob is fixed in newer releases.
