i think the first link looks better. JUst my oppinion. It adds more green which is my favorite colour so thats maybe why.
Remove the inner glows on the footer, header and the green thing under the header! they look awful! The navigation links looks good though! but the stroke on the contentbox doesnt fit that well, try to lower the opacity or something!
Try to stay away from shadows or any type of glow, they make it look messy (however sometime's it's ok to use a shadow on the background). 7/10
its realy unbalanced the brightness of the colours are different every time and i dont like the blur and big strong content box at all, the buttons are total pwnage .... but dont fit into the site at all ... the single aspects are nice but dont blend in with eachother at all .... 5.9/10
I prefer the second one. I don't really like the colours, but I suppose that could be edited easy? I don't really know, I'm not into template building
