I love your header, with the light green and yellow and the reflection of the letters: it looks really nice. Yeah, I noticed the different design than the last time I was here.

You'll like the slogans, though. They're funny. If the general consensus is that the stripes are causing retinal bleeding, I'll make them more subtle.

Also, I've yet to decide if the stripey background is killing my eyes or not. I'm leaning towards yes. :D awww- I liked the pictures!

I think these colors go better together than the last color scheme, and I put a lot of subtle touches into this layout to make it look professional. Hopefully you all will get used to it that much sooner. The graphics were made in the GIMP, but notable exceptions are the <a href="http://www.stripegenerator.com/" rel="nofollow">stripes</a> and the "beta?" <a href="http://www.freshbadge.com/" rel="nofollow">badge</a>, which I'll get rid of eventually. I'm giving away my secrets! Also, if your browser isn't loading the new, matching favicon, you can view it manually <a href="http://www.theworldofstuff.com/favicon.ico" rel="nofollow">here</a>. As for the slogans, I enjoy coming up with them, and I don't think I'd accept any suggestions unless they were extremely awesome. Consider that a challenge?
