Not all the links are working just yet but here is the general layout and what I have come up with after using this forum. Thanks for all the feedback guys!! Good and bad. LOL

Hi there,

The site contects look good, my only issue is the text, the tone of the text on the background make the site difficult to read, regading the traffic, you need to work on your link popularity, another site validating your site for your search terms will make all the difference.

Hope this helps

Hmmm, I feel bad saying this but it doesn't look good. I've never liked red text on black, it just shouts ameatuer to me (dont ask me where i've got all my preconceptions from).

The blues worked, you just needed to bring a complimentory colour.

try http://colorschemer.com and have a play with some of the colours it suggests

Ahhhhhhh..... ok ok. Just to entertain the idea, I tried some colors. http://www.surftoob.net/1exp.html This is an experiment and is not the main page. I want to know what people think of the new color scheme and logo before I change anything again.

I think the thing with "4 colour" layouts is they are normally four complimentary colours not 4 shades fo the same colour. The colour choice you've made doesnt annoy me or even affect me. I don't sit there and go wow I like that colour scheme. its just a washed out blue.
Have a think about it, take everyones advice with a pinch of salt and go for what you like or think looks good, but be prepared for people to say they don't like it. That is afterall the point of these forums,

A reason = we make websites for the enjoyment of others (and/or to make money etc), any Tom, Fred and Irene can make a website, and they do. Most people often forget who they made the site for and just go with personal perference.
I'm sure everyone here could share a story of a site they made and thought was the next best thing to sliced bread and found out from their site users it stunk.

But hey, it's up to you, your site, your choice. We only offer opinions here which you can take and use or totally ignore.

Good point on the nave bar links. My personal opinion is too much color is distractive. All I want is for people to know what they are doing. I like the color. I think it works. I thinks its shaded in the right places and is consistent. Ive seen sites much bigger than mine who have the most horrible colors. I dont know if I should name them here, my point I guesse is give me a real reason to change my colors. I dont think it will distract from the content at all.
