This is my first template. I am pretty sure it is a template... Lol. Ohhh well C&C. GOW 2 Template (First) Second Template. Skillet Template
What can I say? Take a look at some top viewed sites.. It's a bit, well plain, and it's repeating (the logo) text is a bit odd. Lots of things you can work on, I'd say scrap it, work from the begin, keep doing it untill you get some really good feedback.
About the second one, the font is too big and I find it too complicated to look at. It would take me a lot of time to find out where to find the stuff I need, so imo I'd chance the font and the size. The rest looks pretty okay to me!
