Perhaps this tool will help to get you started, beta.dailycolorscheme.com. If I were going to change your existing theme, I would suggest replacing the popular articles with your title, tag line and banner and deleting the space where they are at now. Everything will move up the page and it will have a tighter more connected feel. Good luck with your theme design.

I love all the content and I like the 2 column layout but this theme just doesn't cut it. Here is what I would change: -All the text runs together when I look at it. The sidebars are full of useful links but its hard to distinguish one from another at a quick glance. The headers need to contrast the links to reduce the confusion i think. -Like Randa said above I think the current Logo needs to go. It is kinda depressing to me and looks like it was just thrown together. -There is a lot of clutter. Yeah, that popular articles area has to go. I would cut the rss area down to just an rss button and take out the akismet and alexa boxes. -Eliminate wasted space to shrink the layout. The padding maybe could be taken down a little and maybe remove the little icons too. -Lastly I would change the color scheme.to pull everything together a little bit better. I hope I didn't come off rude at all, just voicing my opinion. I think you have some great content here and I am sure this blog is going to go far. If you would like any graphical help with the logo or icons or anything else just send me an email. I have been doing photoshop for about 10 years now and have become quite proficient. I am actually also redesigning my wife's old layout too because it was originally just thrown together and i hate it (Hollywood Headache dot com). Just made a new theme mock-up last night ( http://www.hollywoodheadache.com/HHlayout.jpg ) maybe you guys could give me some feed back too. *I am already going to change the footer image and the theme is going to be a lot longer. Keep up the good work! -Matt stark-

I definitely want to shrink the width of the columns for sure. Especially the black one. It could easily be cut down by 30% and that would give me more space for my main content area.

I think your design isn't that bad to be honest. You've chosen interesting colours over the original theme design, but it works. I would however suggest you work on your header, the current 'Fuzzy Future' just isn't working at all. Well, at least you’re not using the MistyLook.

But, I don't like all the wasted blank space that makes the page look more like 5 col. If you shrank down your padding, you could have more room in your main article section, and still not lose sidebar space. Good luck! Personally, I love 3 col themes.

My other comment would be with your "Fuzzy Future" logo in the header. The font says "amateur" and it should say "pro". It doesn't fit with the rest of the site- it should probably be something slightly rounded to go with your round corners.

I'm a blogger from Spain, i add your blog to my favourites a few weeks ago and i visit at least 5 times on a week. It's really interesting and useful for me, but i think you should change your two sidebars and put only one. I don't want those templates with two long sidebars. Sorry for my bad english. Regards. ;) Hello! I’m a blogger from Spain, i add your blog to my favourites a few weeks ago and i visit at least 5 times on a week.
