Good clean design with a safe colour scheme I would however suggest changing the logo becuase it dosn't fit in with the rest of the site.

The logo definetly needs to blend better.

Also, it wouldn't appear so cluttered if you had more of a margin on the sides. Some sites can get away with this, but in your case I think you need at least 4 or 5 pixels of margin.

Yeah the hello is intended to eventually be a banner... and yes I should probably reduce from 3 columns to 2... thanks!

Every site needs 'spicing up' according to the webmistress

But well i agree with the comments so far, it all looks far too cluttered up, and that does make it a strain on the eye, so difficult to see what is what. I personally would make the middle part have quite a lot of white space around it to separate it from the two other columns, aiding the reader.

I agree with webmistress about the logo, it needs the top to be the same colour as the logo, and i assume the 'hello' is temporary while a banner or something is organised?

All in all, its pretty decent and i'd come back to it, just make it more readable

I have to agree with Josh that the site is nothing different and a wee bit bland. The logo looks kinda shoved on there and too seperate at the top on it's own, maybe have the background of it go right across the topas a background and what's with the 'hello' stuck on it's own on the right? The find search needs a go or submit button. Could maybe do with another colour to spice it up a bit.

the site boasts some "fresh" ahem topics, but the design is cookie cutter 101. looks like 10 million other sites. -Josh

Nice look. I'd like to see the blue links a bit darker. I strongly recommend making links that aren't underlined underline on mouseover, for instance the black article titles here.

Too many columns make articles (like this one) unreadable.

Your home page is both attractive and highly readable. Good job.
