Seems like a bunch of websites are tweaking their designs, must be something in the air because on a whim I redid my site. Gone is the big fat table that provided the structure of the page, replaced with a CSS solution. It's not as elegant as it should be, but I only played with it for a few hours. It is still very understated, but no longer in bright “safety yellow”. I'm not sure about the font, though, as on my box I have “Eras Medium ITC” but haven't a clue where it came from, I back that up with “Trebuchet MS” but I'm guessing that Macs don't have that one. If anyone has any font suggestions, feel free to speak up.
Full Disclosure: I used a web-based tool to assist with the color palette.
Update: apparently my sub-conscious bogarted the quote graphic design concept from Joe Grossberg's site.
