A different approach...

Okay, I was sort of playing with the new site design, trying to get it looking a bit slicker, and a bit more unified, cause with 4a+b, the plasticy topbar really wasnt meshing with the smooth, soft grey sidebar. SO I came up with this, which is a bit different from what we've seen before, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Yes, on one hand, it is slick ad professional looking, but it doesnt look as fun. It looks like an office, not a playroom, you know? So I guess my point is, do we want this thing to look professional or do we want it to be enjoyable? I find myself liking the older designs more and more. i liked the big toolbars and bright colors http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5702/681/1600/Homepage%201b.0.jpg
i think, that we could make a really fun website if we dont worry too much about white space and screen real estate.
Take a look at http://www.odeo.com/listen it's a really fun site to use, and it was always in the back of my head for the first few designs.

Anywyas, thats my two cents.
Here's a screenshot of the new design.
