I'm working on a second version of my blog. I wanted to go for a crazy, over the top, web 2.0 look with massive buttons, mega gradients and what not…
Check out the complete layout design!
I'm liking it, I just think the content looks disproportionate to the header. Compared to the rest the header looks a bit cramped, I think it'd work better if the logo (especially) and nav were notched up a few sizes / given up bit more breathing room.
Davy, you should try my new social media icons vs. the mini pack that I see on your site — they look much better. I'm really liking the details like the comment form and the comment styles.
I'd really love your criticism, if it's an improvement, or if I should stick with my current blog design or try something new/different?
I do know it's a bit late to do a web 2.0 design style, but I like that kind of stuff…
A lot of people are telling me that they digg this new design, but I'm doubtful about it.
i like it. especially the orange/green combination. i also made a similar site (green with bokeh in the background)
maybe you can also try somthing with some transparency and a fixed background like i did in my design.

Didn't we take Web 2.0 behind the shed to finish it off 5 years ago?

I was just taking a stab at Web 2.0 style, of which I'm not the biggest fan. It looks good, a lot of details.

Really nice. Liking the way you've incorporated the orange gradient with the overlapping.
Not sure about that search area though. The icon seems out of place compared to everything else.
