help with 2 layouts Options

[sheertalentx]

I have two layouts, which one is better of the two and what improvements can i make to make either one of these better. I feel like I could do more, I'm not getting good ratings on the first site, I havent posted the second (on yoursite.com) so please lemme know what you think! I value you guys judgement!

First Layout


Second Layout

[*Intercourse.*]

This needs to be moved to website showcase, I'm sure someone will move it eventually

First: I really like the colors on this layout. I think it really does need some improvement though. I think you could change the layout perhaps? I mean I suppose you could use the same graphics but your layout makes me think of blogger for some odd reason. Or maybe it was livejournal

Second: Wow the colors and graphics look great on this one, but the layout is exactly the same maybe change the layout some.

Also at the bottom of the layout you may want to fix this tiny problem:


To get more traffic perhaps go and subscribe to a few top site websites, I'm sure that may help. Other than that, keep the graphics and perhaps try and make a new layout set up.


..sorry I was editing my post a bit.

Layout 1:
- It would look good positioned in the center. Right now it positioned at the far left and since the layout is huge it causes a scrollbar.
- The headers for the blog, maybe you can do them like hte navigation headers (just a border-bottom).
- The text on the header is ok, yet out of place. Black and white doesn't match the colors of the header. I would also suggest changing the background pattern color to one that matches the layout in some way.
- I think it would also look pretty cool if you take off the border around the entire navigation.
Otherwise I think its ok. :]


Layout 2:
- I adore the header. Maybe move the layout more to the center?
- The white part, maybe make it only for the insdie with the text , then leave the background pink. That would be awesome.
- Lastly for the headers, you should do them all the same. The navigation ones, half are black half are pink. (I like the pink).

Psstttt... I really like this one.

thanks for the tips! im a little confused about what you mean about "The white part, maybe make it only for the insdie with the text , then leave the background pink. That would be awesome" Do you mean have only the background where there is writing be white and then just have the rest the pink color that i have behind the white text box thing?? Like get rid of the white text box that goes all the way down the page and have it be pink instead?? lol sorry, i hope you understand what I am saying haha. im glad you like it though, i think i am going to fix little things i have to make and then make it my main layout!

as for the changing the layout template, do you have any suggestions? like...what template you think will look best? i agree that this template is rather generic. It annoys me cause i hate having one like everyone else, im just not sure what to do with it i guess
:( thanks for your help!!
