Right now i am gathering ideas for a colour scheme and a theme for my website (CLICK) which looks like total crap right now, i know, and i'm not actually using it. I bought it just to learn HTML and CSS and test if for real (and to enter the grown up's playground :p). But as my "artistic" (ehem) skillz grow up (yeah i've been photoshogimping for a while now and i do some cool banners and stuff), i'll need a website more and more, and now i have one, a shitty looking empty one, but a website.
I'm also doing tutorials in my free time, tutorials like:
Check them :)
And i'm pretty sure i'll be using this website this year.
The internet is really an awesome place where egality can be easyer to get :) (except for 13 years old! >:(, we are discriminated all teh time <:( ). I noticed that IRL it's really hard to speak to an adult as a yound teenager while being taken seriously, while on the web, as long as your youtube channel looks pro, people will listen to you as an equal :).
Well anyways, if you see this GIMME IDEAS for how my site could look like (and help me if possible :p).
Cya and gnite.

Okay, some things that may help your web site really look eye catching..
Buttons With Graphics:
Add some style to your buttons. Even a simple gradient with a stroke around the button can make the button seem much less plain.
Change Your Color Scheme:
While a few people may like yellow brown and gray, they don't go too well together. Perhaps instead of a solid color, use a texture. Make the background noticeable, but not dominate the font.
Font:
Font is a huge part it making a great website. For your headers and titles, you should use a different font that goes along with your web page's theme. Since it seems you are making a Runescape fan site, perhaps something relating to medieval times?
Organization:
It's always important for the user to be able to easily find there way around your website. The side menu bar really helps here, but as your web site gets larger, you may want to consider adding a site map.
Hope this helps you with your website! And don't be afraid to go on the forums and ask for ideas either. Many people would jump to help with coding, making graphics, or lending some constructive criticism.
