How come you keep making new topics, when you're only making minor changes to the layouts? This one, like the others, and as others have said, are ridiculously plain. Not sure if you're grasping the advice properly, or just not paying attention. All of the layouts you've made, at least the 5 recent ones, have been pretty much the same. One main column with a large image on top, followed by 3:1 columns. It's very boring, and amateur. Maybe you need to put more thought into your designs, and how they'll all come together before you start designing them. Right now, this one looks like a train wreck, cause it'll end up looking just like the other 4. With two columns of text for the navigation area and the blog. I'm just not seeing anything different, nor fresh with each of these revisions you keep making to the same layouts. Might I suggest, before you design, think. Look at thousands of other templates, graphics, etc. before you make something of your own. Also, it may not do any harm if you read maybe 3 guides/tutorials to making a full layout in photoshop.
