I would suggest the following rules:
I did not comment on the various designs because everyone's going to like something different, so just pick whatever looks good to you. Regardless of what layout you choose and how you go about building it (I, too, support xhtml and css), there is one universal design criterion I urge you to follow: high contrast between text and background. I've seen too many sites (e.g., those presenting python code examples and fragments) that use light grey text on a white background, and other light colors on the same white background. They're almost impossible to read, even when enlarged. Same with the light grey on back pages I've seen. So, however you deside to implement whatever look you want, please ensure that all text is in colors that strongly contrast with the background. Rich -- Richard B.
