OK, so I’m considering changing the overall look and feel of the site.
I’ve already gotten some very nice and helpful comments on my previous post, so I thought I’d show you what I had in mind:
(Click on it to see it at 800 x 600)
The reason it’s in grayscale is that I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to color.
So rather than confuse the design right out of the gate with horrible color choices, I thought this would make seeing the layout easier.
I’m thinking of ditching the little animated tabs on the left for a cleaner top menu. I’m thinking the words would change color on rollover.
Other pages would follow in much the same vein.
So, whatcha think?

My 2 cents:
*Needs color. Maybe not a lot, but at least a little.
*As I said in the last post, I wouldn't drop the animated menu buttons. A cartoon site ought to be a bit whimsical, after all.
*The design of the new one looks good. I like a home page that doesn't require you to scroll down to see all the content.
"I thought this would make seeing the layout easier."
Okay, I get it now…it's not going to stay gray, I take it. I'll try to read more carefully before I comment next time!
Hey Angie!
No biggie, a lot of people missed that. I probably should have put it earlier in the post.
And I think you're right about the menu, so I've added it back in. Check out my next idea:
