UnleashedCreativity.net v.3

Welcome to the third version of UnleashedCreativity.net. After yesterday's post, I started working on the new graphics for this site, eager to see where I would take my ideas, and as you can see its quite a difference from the blue-and-black of the former color scheme.

Well, what do you think? I wanted to go with a lighter set of colors, and I knew that red would be the focus this time around, so I've met both of my criterion. I'm not too sure, though, if the red is too far into the "pink" color area; finding a red color that doesn't tear out your eyeballs has always been hard because the ligther I go, the closer I get to picking a color that matches the hue of bubblegum.

And along with the new color scheme comes some new layout code. To be honest, this isn't anything you need to worry about. Basically, I went back through some of my code and changes markup around to better clarify where the page structure ends and the content begins. When I first started working on the backend, I had finally figured out <div>'s and decided that instead of using <p> or <span> tags to logically denote blocks of content, I had gone crazy with the <div>s and used them for just about EVERYTHING. In my quest to profit from my work, I'll continue to go through, making minor tweaks to the code and getting it that much closer to validating 100% with the W3C standards for XHTML and becoming a respectable blogging software.

Anyway, let me know what you think about the new look, good, bad, or otherwise; I enjoy constructive criticism as it helps me UNLEASH MY CREATIVITY!

Well honestly... Its pink... and thats not your strong color... But it is a bit of improvment over .2v

I kinda like the new layout, one tiny point of critique: The comment titles are red on red. I'm not sure, but I think white on red may be an improvement on readability :)

Also, I'm going to find out what scrambled stuff you have put in your website ;)

Alright, I went ahead and got rid of the pink. The red isn't as harsh on the eyes as I thought it would be...it must be the slight gradient that keeps the balance.

And I fixed the comment titles. No more red-on-red ;)
