First, I would recommend some sort of background in your wrapper (.yui-u.yui-panel ) for the main news section. What's happening is that you have text against a busy background, making it harder to read. Something like this in the CSS would work nicely. You may have to add some padding.
Code:.yui-u.yui-panel { background: #000000; }
Alternately, you can use the background tile you have above. Best of both worlds!
Just chiming in quickly: what precisely is the difference between the Eric Noah skin and the Half Fiend Love Child skin? I'm not seeing one.
Okay maybe I'm just not seeing it.. but what's the difference between Eric Noah and the Half Fiend Love Child? It looks the same to me.
