hello there, there is not much really to tell about the skin as it is pretty much default, personally I don't think that pink goes too well with what you have. As for your logo/header, it has a different color than the white background and it is an unusual size, maybe changing the background from white to that blue would help a little.

I've just taken a look at your site and have the following comments:

The pink color does not work well at all. It is completely different to the rest of the style. However, a toned down, more pastel-ish shade may well work well.

Your header needs some serious attention. It is all over the place at the moment. If you would like some help with getting the alignment sorted out just ask.

Check your forum path in vBoptions > Site URL and vBOptions > Forums URL as one of these has a / on the end of it which is causing a lot of your links to have a double // in the URL.

You have quite a lot of advertisements/banners but the majority of these are non-intrusive as they are in the footer

I like your home/forums button in the navbar. I'd be tempted to try using alt1 or alt2 for it instead of vbmenu_control but it does work well as it is.

Finally your last post column is out of alignment. It not going to be top of the priority list, but it is something that will require some attention.

wow... looks like lots of thing to work on.. thanks, i will do my best to correct all the mistakes you mentioned.. if no expert told me, i will not know about them!!

i modified the header, the logo and reduced the categories... hope it looks better now to you??

about the pink color: i'd go with this #F8DAD0 or this #E9C7C8...or somewhere in between....that way it matches the pink in the banner

the rest of the style though...doesn't really match up well with the pink...might wanna try to throw some shades of pink elsewhere..maybe even try to incorporate it into some of the gradients? like was said earlier...it isn't much different that the standard vb skin at the moment
