He guys (and ladies) I have been thinking about making a blog (well I have made a few before, but a blog worth reading). So I have not done any web design in a while (like 2 years). So I have dusted off the dust on Photoshop CS3 and I have been playing around with stuff.

Long story shot, would love feedback on my design. Suggestions on what to do (I kind of want to keep with the bright colors juice spring theme). Enjoy my preatty bad first attempt Visit My Website

It's actually not that bad.

1) Your header is too large in proportion to the rest of your website. Make it much smaller.
2) Orange on green isn't too pretty, but it's not horrible. Try darkening the orange to make your website more readable.
3) Yellow Text on a Green background is hard to read. Try experimenting with a color wheel to figure out which colors would look good.
4) Links should be a different (darker) color, and should have a hover effect.

Ya I had a pretty fun time in Photoshop making a ridiculously colorful and large header. I got a little carried away.
