thanks for the feedback well, i kind of want to get rid of that gray rounded box completely and use more simple and thinner borders for boxes... i dont know, one example i would like to follow is http://www.atlaspost.com/main.php not everything, but like the individual boxes everywhere, makes it look neat...i guess i answered my own question and i should just go ahead and start laying out stuff with boxes..

hi all i am a php guy doing mostly server-end stuff so my frontend skills are crap, anyways i got this mockup of a site i am trying to build, I dont know, it just doesnt look professional or good to me so i was hoping if someone can give me some advice and pointers on how to make the layout look better. I dont have any image editing software (except paint), so if anyone has any ideas using CSS (borders, background-colors, etc) to make things look better please let me know! What bothers me alot is the content part, which has the gray round borders...i would like to add more boxes but I dont know how to make it look better http://mf.yardsaledb.com thanks in advance!
