I was initially going to go with a black/grey look, but decided to head in a different direction and use a maroonish color. I don’t think I’m too crazy about it and will probably move to a different color scheme. I’ll probably try something like the Red Bull blue/silver combo next. I also don’t like the layout - it’s very formulaic. Header graphic, main content, right nav. I’m want something less cookie cutter, but I think I’ll need to do the project management pluggin first, to see how it fits in.

I do like the angled edges. They were a bit tricky to figure out the best way to do in Photoshop, but I’ve got a system down now. If I do a hard edge on the angle I can make the background corner transparent, which allows me to play with the color/pattern below it. The softer edge looks a bit nicer, but means less flexability.

Another annoyance is that I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress for my development and now I get a bunch of “?”s in my posts. I’ve seen this on other sites, but I haven’t tried to figure it out yet.
