Hey everyone, I've been working on a template for my RebirthRO (Ragnarok private server) guild site and I wanted to know what you all think of it. I think I'm going to use some sort of floral left and right border with some good blending effects. Just let me know what you think of it! Here's a preview of what I have so far:

Of course, the site will be centered horizontally, so that doesn't need to be mentioned. I am going to start coding it into a WordPress theme once I'm fully satisfied with the design work. WordPress blogs are just the easiest to manage. :p

Constructive criticism only please!

I would:
Reduce the font size of the post title as it is over powering
Make the blue bar just below the header the same length as the copyright bar
Decrease the transparency of the menu, so it looks whiter, so that the menu text looks more equal, for greater continuity
Also, make the new member avatar smaller and move the text up to its right, that way you get more people in.

Apart from the blue bar underneath the header I think it looks really nice. Good Work.

Very nice! Good work! I really like it! Work on the menu and please tell me you are going to use rollovers for the menu links!

I like it a lot except for the transparent menu over the header. Try putting it horizontally below the header or something.

I thought about some of the suggestions, and I changed quite a bit. I did some more graphical changes to the header, just highered the contrast to make it look brighter, and got rid of the transparent menu and put it below the header.
Here's what I have now:

Tell me what you think of it now, C&C is appreciated! :)

That's far better :)

Try removing the underline for the menu links as none of the other links are underlined.

Thanks, and I'm pretty satisfied with the design for now, maybe I'll tweak it up in the future some time. Thanks for the C&C everyone! :)

I think it looks pretty nice at first sight. If you follow the others suggestions I've looked at, it should be great ;]
