Help me improve my layout

[Lisa]

I have a problem:

http://auberginer.org/9.php

I have no idea what to do with it. My current layout bothers me far too much, and I have the feeling that this new one might have a few loading issues... Do you have any suggestions for what I can do to make it not so generic as it is now?

Here are a few things I am currently in the process of doing:

• Make a more exciting header, somehow (Auberginer.org or just Auberginer)
• Add navigation (on top)
• Perhaps alter the background

Hearing your thoughts would be wonderful.

Ahh! I like it a lot.
What if you put an orange/yellow orb behind the header, in the middle of the sun burst to make it look like the sun?

a more interesting font for the site name would make it pop more
possibly putting Auberginer on one line and then .org on a line in a different font below it would make it more interesting
also, if you put the site name in the brown that you incorporated at the bottom of the screen, it would help the colors flow more smoothly

hope that helps! (:

oh, and for the navigation at the top, using tabs would be really cute and it would look nice with the rounded corners (:

Hello Lisa,

I don't really like the font you used. Could you change just that?!

By the way, are there any issues with the loading time? Also, does the footer stick to the bottom when you re-size the window?

Yes, tabs for the navigation sounds nice. I'll try that. Perhaps maybe some extra links on the side of the main content as well? (Eg. Ask me-page, link exchanges, tagboard etc.)

Do you have any suggestions? I used Georgia for the main font. Arial and the like looks a bit too bland for the effect I'm trying to get. I'll think about changing..

I think you should put more padding between the text and the rounded edge outline.

And push the What's new and Follow me up above the clouds.

You could keep the same font family for the website title.
But, make it bigger and add effects to it...
