    Its just this time of year delaying me. I'm so busy on weekdays with my ecommerce stuff, and then weekends often family stuff.

    Totally missed this! Yeah it looks very nice & professional.

    I'm not quite sure what you could do, but it seems like the dark red bars (navigation, on the blog the posted in: by: comments.) I am thinking the main things you want to stick out are the logo and header..

    not quite sure how it would be done, but I think with changing or subdueing some colors.

    I like the design - nice and clean.

    I'm not sure about the grays (or greys) and beige though - I think you need to go with one or the other.

    I like the grays and beige. The only thing that sticks out to me is that it seems like there's a whooole lot of header with a lot of whitespace before you get to any content.

    the grays and beige are just neutral colors meant to lessen the overall screen brightness to make it easier to read. Too much white on a screen and it ends up too bright.

    All that whitespace to the right of the logo will be used eventually.

    My only thought for change is that one of us who are better with graphics should give you some new buttons that match this theme better. Maybe I'll try to take a crack at this.

    By the way, this color scheme is my favorite color scheme and is very similar to what I use on my chemistry site.

    Wow - I like the new design - it looks especially good on the forums with the tanish background. And the new logo is great, who designed it?

    No - what I mean is that I think the colors clash... either go with all different tones of gray OR beige - but not the 2 together.

    Thats just my opinion though

    Is it just me? The visited links in the top navigation bar don't show up. I see "produce - promote - profit" but not "home", "forum", or "blog". When I hover they are identifiable but not very well.
