Layouts - Your thoughts?

For a while i've been messing around with designs for a new personal site named [i]Take.Twenty.Three[/i] or [i]3xT[/i] (3 times T).

Made these last week but wasn't particularly keen on them. Will probably keep trying and messing around with a few more designs until i'm happy. I don't want an overly graphic layout which people are probably used to seeing from me. Just something clean and simple, which'll get people coming back.

Your thoughts on the attached please?

Hmm, thanks Hoax. I preferred the one on the right too but wasn't ecstatic about it.

Edit: Uploaded image instead of linking to it, also added splash page:

I\'m not to crazy about the first two, but the last one rocks my hello kitty boots /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> It has a nice simple feel to it and looks pretty professional. Well done /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

Thanks Josh /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

I'm liking the last one a lot, am thinking i'll use it. Just waiting to see if any comments point out any suggestions/changes (except "it's white").

Now that I\'m looking at it, the navigation links just don\'t fit in with the whole thing.. They\'re to small with a lot of white space to the right of them.. Any way you can liven it up a little bit in there? /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Hmm, I was thinking of adding a 'Clicks' thing, like:

LINK CLICKS
- Home ( 37 )

But apart from that i've got nothing, unless I put more space to left and just left align them a bit closer to the middle. Any ideas?

I would only use link clicks for like affiliates, or some kind of \'popular link contest\' thing lol... Ummm.. Maybe you could increase the letter spacing just a little bit?

Yeh that was the downside to my idea, lol. I could increase the spacing, it's a thought. But the words are quite short so i'm not sure how much of an impact that'll have.

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]I do like the second one more so than the first two, but i really don't like white sites all that much, so to me it's "good" but not "Great"... thats just a personal thing, the site looks great from a visual perspective. [/b][/i][/color][/font]
