Don't worry about double post Sam, you're adding information, which I believe is fine by forum rules. So James told me a few days ago :)
Good point so far is, I think the colours flow much better and the look is far improved.
I have done you a pic of what i would improve, sorry it's done in paint. Mine is no way perfect, it's probably worse than yours, that's for the users of this forum to decide.
The gradient on the left on your new one is horrid, just my opinion :P
Aha i just looked at it now and thought to myself 'What was i thinking last night?' :L I agree with you Denta. Im not sure where im going with that green box. I just thought it looked kinda funky. I really need to sit down and decide what exactly i want this layout to show.
It looks way to open and boring at the moment. I'll do some serious editing tomorrow probably. Yay for no college.
Think about it from the standpoint of what the site is really about... finance, travel, education... each of those topics have different color schemes that could match them.
What do you want the mood on the site to be? Do you want it to be a very serious and informative site... a relaxed and less formal site... once you have decided that, do a little research on "relaxed colors" and find some colors that match each other.
