Hello, so I just opened my website and created a WordPress theme to go with it. Can I have some opinions on it?

http://www.qforquack.com/

Some people are telling me they don't like the yellow much, but others are saying that it's good how it is.

I think it's fine. I just don't like the yellow for the ad part though.

I love the header! :)

Aww, bless you all. I myself thought it was too bright, but I guess it's just my eyes. Does it look ok on your screens? I have a widescreen, so that's why I ask.

The blog titles look funny. I suggest a different font and a 1px pink border instead of the thick one you have.

The NOTE TO SPAMMERS & FREQUENTLY ASKED links are difficult to read against the pink background.

I don't have your body font installed on my computer, so it shows up as Times New Roman, which is quite unsightly.

It's really nice other than the above. I like the width and the brightness :)

I'm using Garamond, might that be a problem?

The colors you chose aren't bad. I really think it could be pro and kickass, in my opinion, if you chose way better fonts. I'm not fond of any of the fonts used in the header, sidebar, and esp. the content area. The Impact makes the layout look very amateur, as well as the Times New Roman.

it's a special kind of Garamond (by viewing your source)

in your code, replace "font-family: Garamond Premr Pro;" with "font-family: Garamond Premr Pro, Garamond, sans-serif;"

On a side note, wouldn't it be "serif" instead of "sans-serif"? wink.gif

I think that the font should be changed. Plus the links under the archives sign (the pink oval) the link inside could be white because the yellow against the pink is a little harsh on the eyes. Nice though.
