There's no real theme, just something for me to make during free time while I'm bored :P I might try making a Zetaboards theme since it looks like fun, won't be any good but it'll give me something to do. :D

Stick with something you're into perhaps?

Pokemon - Red/white/black, a very simple and easy colour theme to begin with.
Arceus - Gold/Yellow/White/Black
Yu-Gi-Oh - (Blue eyes white dragon?) Blue/White/Gray/Cyan
Dark Magician? Shades of Purple, Black, White

I think colour palettes work best when it's related to something you love / know of. Just an idea :P

Grats on 2222 posts btw xD

It would be great if you could design us a new theme ;D If there's anything I could help with, like sizes and stuff shoot it out and I'll give you the details.

Seems like you got your colors. Good luck!

If you want a color palette, Adobe Kuler is your best friend. Gives you mutiple colors that fit together

Nice work, Minimii! Can't wait to see it progress!

As for the colour scheme, I like blue gold teal navy and those sort of colours. But, a pokemon theme sounds good too, just as Gforce said. So, I'd go with the same. But I guess it looks like you've already chosen. So, nvm. : P

I was going to suggest using Kuler but I noticed someone already did.
Seeing as you mentioned webdesign you should check this out http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/
It's a pretty good resource for webdesign in general, it's how i went from html4 to 5, it's real up to date
They have a web design theory course here http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/series/web-design-theory--webdesign-2002
but you should look into the colour theory one

Made some progress on it not sure how I like the background of it however: http://w11.zetaboards.com/theme_test_thingy/
Still have to remove the blue at the top of the page, once I get the index how I want it I'll start working on other pages.

I don't know much about these things, but if I may, I'd still like to say: You are making very good progress, Minimii! Keep it up. :)
