Need comments/suggestions for my new site

[Viper007Bond]

I've been working on a new site and since I couldn't design the front end for a website if my life depended on it (coding the backend is another thing), I've been using some pre-downloaded skins.

So, choices in the poll. Help me out!

• London - http://www.viper007bond.com/newsite/
• London, but different colors - example (don't like these colors though) - http://tin-men.net/blog?skin=norfolk
• Evolver/Libra mix - http://dev.viper007bond.com/newsiteskin/

Personally, I'm thinking the London skin, but with some different colors and perhaps a different font.

I think the Evolver/Libra is the clearest to read and clarity is naturally important in these cases. It's also rather visually attractive too imo.

I like London the best actually. The muted color scheme and layout make it really easy to read and navigate.

No, this is the new layout for my personal site @ www.viper007bond.com

Oh, anyway, I personally like the simplicity of the London skin, but it's a lotta grey for my taste, so I think I may try a version with the blue color scheme of the Evolver/Libra skin.

I agree. To sum it up with one word, it's boring.

It could be improved a lot with a well-thought color scheme. I like the basic layout more than that of Evolver.

That can super easily be changed - both the main font as it's set via CSS and the image headers.

Yeah, the other one's... busy. I think I may pull the color scheme off it and apply it to London.
