   Dribbblers I summon thee!

   So heres the deal. I need help with the header (and any other creative input you'd love to give). I don't want the header so boxed in but I've been staring at this thing too long to come up with solid ideas. Here's a larger version of what I've got going so far this way you aren't limited by the 400x300 pixel shot.

   Hey Jake, thanks for the feedback. That's actually the area I'm asking for creative ideas about. I've pretty much stared at the design too long and have a loss of solid ideas for that section.

   This shot may inspire you: http://drbl.in/34056

   I feel having an interesting illustration or graphic that breaks out of the box would be nice.

   Okay, the circles are kind of just placeholders to show the idea I think everyone here is saying: There needs to be something that breaks out of the very structured design. Easy solution. :)

   Other notes:
   -Your name may need to be more emphasized, here I just made it larger. It's too similar to the "Welcome!" text.

   -I also moved the nav over a bit to the left to be aligned with the left side. (Your name, "welcome!" the dates)

   Here's a larger version.

   I know I said a lot, but I really dig this! Good Job.

   Great rebound Ryan. Skyler I'd maybe consider taking the blog titles to the same color as your name in the header, they're getting lost in the rest of the page. Seeing as how this is your blog design I feel like the blog entries should stand out a little more. Could even see getting rid of the "Welcome!" message. Nice work though.
