I haven't put anything in it yet, because I'm unsure about the layout. On one hand I love it, I think it describes me and if I have once chance to show someone who I am, that would sum it up. On the other hand, I don't want people to look at it and think I'm unprofessional and a stoner or something (which I am not!). I don't know what to think. It doesn't really matter as of now, seeing as how I'm not charging for my services (for the time being), but still.

Edit:

What do you guys think about me making a layout out of this?

It looks pretty nice but it still looks like your other layout. I'm not too fond on how it's just so...blocky. Also, I'm not sure if everyone's going to like your layouts if you keep this huge banner - little content box style. It may look a little nicer if you added some rollovers to the nav. Otherwise, it's alright. thumbsup.gif

I am going to be really honest & say that I don't like the banner. The blending is weird & you used too many textures. Tone it down a bit. Also some of the images are low in quality. Also, I think the banner's a bit too big, vertically, & I don't really like how it goes from one side of the screen to the other. It dominates the layout. I like the idea but you just need to work on it. And I wouldn't think you're a stoner by looking at the layout, for the record. wink.gif

I think the set up looks fine. One thing you could do with the content are is make it 2 different content spaces so the text doesn't look so stretched out.

Alright, I completely changed the whole thing. Thoughts?

I'm not too sure on the blue one but the update you made looks much nicer. Maybe if you add a drop shadow to left and right border it would look a bit better. thumbsup.gif

I think it looks a lot better now. Nice rollovers. Just work on your blending. Like try & actually blend them, you know?

How is that not actually blended? I'm confused.
