How can I make this layout better? Options

[SharperMyspace]

I made a layout and it got rejected. So I added a contact table and cursor, and it got rejected again. I don't know what else to changed about it.

Layout Preview

The reviewer said "Too plain. Not appealing. Default CSS still remains." I don't see how default css still remains. I change all the colors of stuff, and did lots of work on the tables.

So I don't know what else to do. I have spent a lot of time on this layout, and it is one of my favorites. I don't know what else to add to make it better. Any suggestions?

Yeah, it looks way too plain. As far as the default CSS remaining, like it still looks the default CSS, you know? Sometimes just changing the color isn't enough. See, something like this is good. She has a custom banner & background (which is a new rule we have around here).

All submitted MySpace standard layouts must have a custom contact table and either a custom background OR custom extended network. However, moderators will still be making sure that the entire layout as a whole and the included custom background/extended network meet CreateBlog's general layout standards.

So tbh, this needs work. I'm in no way shape or form trying to be mean or anything; I'm just giving you some advice on how to improve your layout.
