Default What do you think?

Hi all. You know when you look at something for so long you start to think "why?!". Well I have done just that on my site. If you look at my home page you will see the text "Posted by Harry" in a bright green box. I'm beginning to think it's too much, and it attracts too much attention. Do you think that a box similar to the title bars on my portfolio page would be better (the bar that holds the name of the client)? OR something different altogether?

Comments welcome.

Thanks!

I like the fact that the title stand out in green, I'd leave them

Anyone else want to comment?
While I value Toon's opinion, I wouldn't mind a few others!

Gotta be honest, i dont like them lol. (just my opinion)

they draw to much attention away from the actual headline, Why should who its posted by be more flamboyant than the story title? (I guess i like the actual graphic, but not how its currently used)

It does read as post title, If your the only one posting on your own home page, i think you can either a.) leave out who posted or b.) shrink it down to italics. I would use the green bar as title.

To all: That's exactly what I thought about it. It distracts from the important bits doesn't it. I'll sort it out when I've got a little less time.
