Merged my last two posts so this isn't a triple post but here's a new preview:

So far just the sidebar and logo have been done. There's some alignment/size issues I need to resolve with the logo but wanted to know what you guys thought so far. I tried changing the grey background to something else but nothing really worked. If you have any suggestions (as in specific colors to use) I'm open to them.

I didn't realize the sidebar background was 121kb, I'll try and lower that later.
