I decided to do a quick CSS update last night. The site design really hasn't changed since I released it back in early 2005. I've gone with a more white space approach. It still looks bad, I know I'm not a designer, I don't even know if it looks better than before. But it is different :) I think I need to fix up the two sidebars. I might have a look at that today.
I think you should maybe lighten the purple-blue if you want to use black text. It's too dark and really hard on the eyes.
It's looking simple though, and I like it.
Yeah I like it better :P But I'm just a blue + white person a lot of the time so whatever :P
