Please let me know what you think. Just an attempt at another look for my test site. When I get happy with it, I plan on doing something similar for another site.

Thanks in advance.

Nice start. Your use of Bittbox images is to be commended, I frequently follow his designs myself.

IMO, the background is way to harsh and made my eyes cross.

The color scheme is not one that I would use, too many bright contrasting colors -- gray header/footer, green diagonal background, bright purple menu button, and a reflective red background image for your TD style. And there is no clear indication of hyperlinks in the content. I had to hover over a sentence to know it was a link.... Also, the left column titles were lost with the column text.

The layout itself is clean, a nice start!

Looking forward to the end result, good luck!

The kubrick theme looks best for me. Clear and interesting effects! Right on!

All easy enough to fix.

- I toned down the background...way down.
- The Red bg image for my td style was left over from the last time I used that theme. thanks for catching it.
- changed the link and hover colors.
- I need to work on the blocks offered with the wordpress module right out of the box. The sidebar block id from there.
- I like the bittbox graphics too. I will end up modifying them. that is what I was afraid of, everybody would recognize it.

Guys thanks for the feedback. I have some time to tweak this before I have to use it. The colors I am stuck with, at least for this one.

Buggy- the kubrick themes are a great starting point for whatever you want to do. I almost always start with them.

Nice work

May I suggest ColourLovers to help with your existing color scheme? I use them alot to help with color coordinating Sometimes I can be colorblind to different colors...let's live a little and spice things up with ColourLovers!!! LOL
