the vines and plants don't fit with the logo: the logo looks like something for a shop or service like on a shop or side of a van - say something like a stationery or small grocery shop. i think your logo says small business to me rather than personal 'whatever it is that you do'.

I liked the logo when ya posted it before. I think you shopuld add a bit more of that dark green to the site somewhere. The site does look nice but you have too much negative space in those sidebars. Since the content in the side nav isn't much, you could make the font a bit bigger. It appears that you missed filling in 2 loops of your background image. And for consistency sake, either drop the "S" from INTERESTS on the left or add it at the top.

Thanx for all the good comments. Still a work in progress. I have worked it all in html/css. Still not what it should be but maybe you can give some more comments on:

The overall design is very aesthetically pleasing.

However, you might want to do something to make the text/main-content standout more. Right now, it effectively blends in too well with the background. You could try lightening up the background or at least lightening it up around those paragraphs.

good design and color

Some thoughts...

The overhead navigation isn't working for me. The text is too small and it feels overpowered by the vine images. The contrast on the navigation text isn't strong enough. I have a hard time reading dark green on light green.

The logo is nice, I like it.

You should try to keep your font choices limited. I don't understand why dore.com is in a bunch of different fonts. It looks unattractive.

In the left side navigation... Is Portfolio a link? Is personal a link? Why is Personal larger than About? I find this inconsistent and confusing.

The paragraph header text is overwhelmingly larger than the paragraph text. The legibility of the paragraph text isn't great. The vine images in the background make it difficult to read.

The paragraph text feels squished, give it more room to breath. Whitespace is your friend.
