How would you personally change or improve this design?

I'm looking for ideas on how to improve the aesthetics of my new website. I modeled it after mega64.com.

ok,
I think the layout needs a redesign (not user friendly enough, try rows instead)
the website is a little dark and dreary
don't but images with white backgrounds on backgrounds that aren't white

other than that, I like it

How do you mean?

P.S. I replaced the white-background-image with a more permanent one :P

Ah, I see now. Tomorrow I'll play around with that. That could "uncrowd" things.

you know what, that picture was throwing me off. now your design looks better. I might consider changing the logo though

[kn3rdmeister]

changing the logo though

Definitely, I've been playing around in Photoshop trying to find something more suiting. I want to have more up there so it's not just some random logo that seems to have no significance.

Yes you need another logo for your site. If you finding difficulty for the logo then you can take some advise from some designing experts.

Mocha! and Black dont go along and red/orange headings makes it dull! even the text colour! Work on a new color scheme that will attract attention than giving out a lazy dull impresion! You could replace dark biege colour with grey like, and remove div with your profile pic and mocha background, and replace it with just the picture and put border to it. Good luck

Oh Jesus! I just noticed its a blog if I'm correct! why don't you use a different template?
