I have updated my selection; the previous background did not work well with text, and this version shows the special tricks I used for the background....

If selected, I'll work on some buttons (maybe some collaboration on that one).  I also need to double check the code...don't remember how nasty it is under the hood....  :happy:

Great job Billy and Matt!
 
 Matt, I think I like your more recent one with the cloud background better than the sunny background. More easier on the eyes, IMO. B) Though, I think I like the font that's on the current layout on this site, which I believe is Verdana.

Of course, this is entirely Gary's call, but I'm just posting my thoughts on this.

Well, if I use yours I can say that TWC Today is a green site.  :P :rofl2:

You can if you want Billy, but you don't have to. It would probably be rather difficult to get something done by tomorrow.

Matt, could I suggest a sans-serif font for your design? Serif fonts (i.e., Times New Roman) look awkward on the web.

I actually have two designs that I have been considering, which I'd like to add to the designs being considered:

and

Note that these are templates, which is why they are filled with random info.
