The idea of the new design was to look more professional (corporate, actually) while be much cleaner and much easier to navigate. I'm not so sure I'm entirely happy with the results yet, but I'm working on yet! But those are the goals
I still feel a background for the signatures would be good, but at least a box. Here's one example of why (posts 2-5):

Dare I say it. I like the layout. I'm not a big fan of the color scheme. I'm typing this reply in a 3-toned pastel purple box. I have the faint taste of grape Bubblicious bubblegum in my mouth. I have the urge to draw a unicorn, and change all the dots above my "i"s into bubbly heart shapes.

Change the color of the pannel surrounding the textbox. It's more grey instead of purple now. Can you tell?
Yeah, I can tell. The overall affect as one traverses the site, though, is a bit too "precious" for my tastes.
But it isn't about me. If your goal was to create a tech site that didn't conform to the Microsoft-induced "tech" color scheme, you did it. Also, if you wanted, consciously or not, to underscore the site is operated by a "girl", you did that too!
I'll just to balance my time here with visits to some manly site.

:rolleyes: I havent found it to be girly or manly....I havent really thought about it, but it looks pretty nuetral to me.
My karma ran over your dogma.
Here's a site (blog site) that has what I think is a nice "neutral" color scheme:

Dani - don't stress too much about colors. As long as the site is readable (which it is), then you're ok.
