    It's good! But some of the boses like the Home title sticks out a bit! But keep at it!

    Wow, obviously none of these people in this topic know what their talking about.

    1. Use gradients NEVER bevel unless you know how to use it.
    2. Your header WAY too much brushing lets keep it to a minimum.
    3. Text needs alot of work.
    4. Put more design into your content boxes.
    5. try the tutorials at www.pixel2life.com and www.good-tutorials.com those should give you some ideas of what to do.
    6. When showing a preview of your template NEVER anti-alias your text and state that you did not anti-alias so people cant say anything about it looking ugly.
    7. Download some good looking fonts, pixel fonts are good for the box header text ..
