LOL Layout, Grey/Green/Beige Options

[rodellee]

I'm new to manipulating Xanga. So pardon the mess.

Not my favorite layout, but then again, it's my first "image" layout.

How can I make the banner be more "bold" maybe it's because I used a neutral color palette that it looks so flat to me. Do you think I should have used a drop shadow effect on the main image to make it seem more "alive" and not so stagnant?

Thanks for your input!

Hmm, messy. Never had anyone say any of my designs as "messy" but first time for everything. What is messy? The layout or the banner?

How do align the left module to the entry box? The top navigation (images) are also part of the left module, should I just make them two separate modules?

And for the life of me I don't know why the top table (header) won't align with my entry box.

Also, is something wrong with the scroll bar? Or is because it's default and doesn't have any script? I prefer it that way

And thanks you guys for honesty.
