Having more fun

Still need to make the sidebar/postbit and find a place for an ad banner. I've been looking for a spot to place it but I can't find anywhere that looks good

Does anyone have some reference images that show a direct view on the front of the Wii console? I want to see how close my buttons are to being spot on. All I can find are photos that tried to have stylish angles

"Oh Jesus" is what i'd say to that. Not the wii skin, but the spam.

Does the gray look bland and boring?

I usually hate working with gray, l love black/white but I hate gray it just seems bland to me. I couldn't really think of what other colors to put into it since the Wii is primarily gray, with a blue light inside the disc tray

What Arial font? (I used Trebuchet MS and "Sitename.com" uses the font Puritan)

After making that stuff for the post bit and forum I decided I didn't like it and now I'm redoing it.

you seemed to know exactly what I was talking about so I will dismiss that one. The problem I have with them is that they are too large and bulbous in the areas in the middles of letters (like the gap in the center of an 'o') they also don't grab my attention, I personally would have used a http://sneak.in style font with little/no blending options for all of the values you used the 'Arial' Font on.
