UPDATE: I made a few small changes to the layout. In addition, the hubfeed (or all posts) can be sorted by new or trending.

There are a couple of other small tweaks that I will make in the coming days.

That green is jarring ..

:) I could take it down a notch. However the visited link color didn't seem to suffice since it's an activation of sorts. I'll mellow it a shade or two tomorrow when I push these tweaks out.

I kinda like green though. :)

I like green too. But there is green and then there is green :))

May I suggest this tool, most cordially, my friend?

I suggest (RGB) 35, 145, 97.

I met you in the middle with 35, 155, 50. How's that on the eyes?

The washed-out main color (which I like a lot) sets the overall tone, imho. So anything close to primary will just jump out. Right now it is still a bit too prominent on main page. (That said, somehow the orange works and green for user id is also working since it is very thin and getting 'washed' at the edges with white.)

Ok, here's something different. How about the blue-green for the hubwheel (16 189 187)? That used to be the border, and it somehow worked.

Thank you for kuler. I'll definitely be playing with that. I think my Lenovo looks a bit different than most. :) I'll have to look at my wife's Macbook for the final check.

35, 145, 97 is nice. Maybe just a tad too blue for me, but it'll be in that neighborhood.

I also should mention: the amount of green will decrease a bit tomorrow, -if you follow someone you won't get the 'shared by' text on their posts. That text will only appear if you don't follow the author, but the post was shared by someone you follow.
