Yeah, not bad. You just need to start adding gradients. Also, one easy thing to do which would make it a whole lot better is to add some board wrappers. These just basically stop the board stretching right across the screen (like on here). To do this, just use this bit of code in your Header / Body part of your 'board Wrappers' (in the Admin CP):

Not to shabby for a first skin. The colors flow pretty well and it looks good. I'd take the advice that PWNED had about the table and also about learning to incorporate grads. You're well on your way...nice first effort. |

A gradient is just an image that goes in one part of the the skin (such as the category headers). The usual places to put gradients are in the .maintitile, .darkrow2, .pformstrip and .titlemedium. The code to put these in as background images looks like this:
Just put the link to your image there, once you ahve uploaded it. If we take an example from your code, to add a background image to your .maintitle, it would look like this:
The bolded part is the code (which was already there, because you used a generator). And, for the graidents themselves, open up Photoshop (or whatever), and make an image (size 800x30) the will fit in with your skin (same colors, that sort of thing.) Hope that helps
