Or else I again have to do it. Frown

I see a light blue line under the topics now.  

I think you're trying to do too much.  Remember K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Silly (if I use the other word I might be breaking forum rules).

SPF thanks a ton for this feedback.

yes, I did try copper (#4063BC) as the bar color, but decided against it

The recent post is a plugin where as, popular post is just a text widget, so, I am unable to control the indentation. 

I will again revert to that color and keep it for a day and wait for your feedback, I mean everyone's.

re: the text widget - you could try using an HTML list (and i'm sure there is some sort of code to add spaces as well).  

I'll check out the banner shortly - baby calls, er, wails.

Instead of my eyes moving toward your content I find them drawn back up to the top repeatedly.  Distracting might be the word I am looking for.  I think sticking to 3 colours (black, blue and copper) is more than enough.

Thanks for the feedback.

Aloysa, Hank, big thanks!

Likes:

 how you merge the logo into your name of your website

The Penny is cool

 

Dislikes:

I think the O in "one" should be larger.  The Penny definitely is unique and makes me think of your site but it's too small in my opinion.  Making it larger would show a bit more detail.

I think the banner should stretch to cover the width of the page, but that's just me.

The nav bar seems to have too many items to me.
