Instead of making it look hot, how about making an unique feature everyone wants? Did you write the code yourself or just rip someone off?

PS: Trebuchet MS isn't that great.

Because I don't have the knowledge to do that. And I have no idea what Trebuchet MS is.

And I the code that I "ripped" off is in the credits.

If you have no idea about the font you're using throughout your design, how did you come across it in the first place? And "not knowing" is not a good reason, dude; I assume you made this one to learn yourself and nothing's better than a good, challenging goal in terms of learning something new.

I'm sorry to say this, but your CMS looks just like the dozens out there. If you aren't doing this to learn yourself, why bother?

What font do you suggest I use?

Instead of editing your post to answer, consider posting a reply. It makes things clearer.

And as for the font, hey, it's your design! If I were you though, I'd take a look at Google's free font catalog at

. There's a large selection and they're all royalty-free. Changing the font to something more unique (but still stylish) makes a huge difference between a tongue-in-cheek and a well-laid design. Just remember to use a different one for the heading and the paragraph text.

I won't comment on the second part, that's your opinion, and I respect that!

I have taken a look at Google Web Fonts, but there's just so many to choose from :O

You might want to try something like Varela Round for the header. Basic Helvetica Neue 12-13px or Lucida Grande is good for paragraphs. For the header and navigation, try to apply some text-shadow with the CSS property

text-shadow: 0 -1px 1px #999

or something like that.

OH and the gray background doesn't fit in

I found a font called "Carme," that I really like

About the background, yeah I can't really find a good background. All the nice ones are Calenders from the Nexon site :/

Yeah, that looks pretty good!
And you should not rip Nexon's images, you're effectively violating their copyright.. what I meant anyways was that the bluish background image AND the gray solid aren't exactly a match made in heaven. If you intend to keep using the image, you should set the solid color to something that doesn't contrast as much with the image, such as the same blue as in the image.

(what i'm trying to say is that pick the colour from the image and apply it as the background-color)
