Interesting idea but to be honest, the color palette is quite distracting - there's too much going on.
* the yellow background for the news items is a show stopper - the text will look just fine on it's own!
* the two-tone peach/cream background for the main content blocks is distracting. instead try a subtle tone for the left section and the page body color for the news section
* the dark grey background + blue headers and footers is not cohesive. make the background a very light grey or creme color (#f8f8f8 for example) and if you want the headers and footers to have a color, I'd make them extend the full width of the page or else make them flat (no-gradient)
Of course, this is all my opinion, and you get what you pay for right? :)
Good luck with this interesting idea!
- noduerme 15y agoThanks. I pro'lly gotta work on that. I get a little carried away once I start CSS'ing.
- calebmpeterson 15y agoSure thing! It's about iterating a piece of work and revising.
- proexploit 15y agoCool project, I played around with the CSS a little bit myself but didn't have as much time a I thought (running late right now) but I'll still show you what I came up with so far just so you can see an alternate perspective.

- calebmpeterson 15y agoThat looks quite nice.
- noduerme 15y agoYeah, it looks great. Thank you for taking the time and interest to do something like that. I emailed you, but in case it hit your spam (probably), it's from info@opencombinator.com
