I have made two different colored layouts can you tell me which one you like best, and why?

The grey box is for a logo and picture.

I prefer the first one. The second one is clearly meant to be compact, but doesn't have boundaries. Try adding a page border and adding a background color the header "iEffective Web Design"

I have to agree with DoI. The first one has definite boundries on everything. The second has boundries on some things, but not all, making for a somewhat inconsistent look. IMO. (In my opinion.)

I like the 2nd because everthing stands out and is easier to read.

The first one, I'm sick and tired with white background. I love the first option. look selegant and that green .. just amazing Smiling
almost all my sites are with a darker background and lighter text. I think it's more "chic" Smiling

I really like the simple white background. The text you choose for the "Page not Found" part really stands out in black Laughing out loud

The between
"Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "
and
"Apache/1.3.33 Server at articlez.com Port 80" was a nice touch as well.
