Thanks again for your feedback. I am using the same browser and version as you so I am not sure why it looks so different in some cases. Are you on linux or windows?
I have addressed the issues you mentioned below...

The blue is there by design, it looks good for me - could you possibly take a screen shot?
pickle wrote:Add some padding in your menu - make it taller so there's more room between the text and the edge of the tan bar
Done
pickle wrote:Your recent forum posts are extending beyond the bottom of the box
Mine does not, but just incase I have shortened the list by 1.
pickle wrote:In your contact box, make your text fields lighter. The contrast could be improved. Also, make the 'Send' button and the textfields a different colour. Having them look the same might confuse some people (at least initially) as to what rectangle does what function.
I have made it a completely different colour.
pickle wrote:Fix your <textarea> to have the same font family & size as your other text fields.
I made it slightly smaller so more could fit in the box - I am still on the fence about this one.
pickle wrote:Curious why Infrastructure, About, and Contact have /index/ in the URL?
They are simple pages so belong to my default controller, I dont think they require their own controller.
pickle wrote:The links in the Developers are not initially obvious. Why not move them down below the text that explains what the page is for?
Appreciate what you are saying, but on the fence
pickle wrote:The really wide <select> box in your contact is relatively difficult to use. I have to focus on the arrow on the far right to determine it's a <select>, then focus back on the far left to read the articles. When I'm selecting something in a <select> box, I generally move my mouse over the item I'm selecting. If I've moved my mouse over to the right, I now have to move it back to the left. Long story short, don't make it 100% width.
I do agree, but it will break my design if I dont make it 100%, so I need to think of styling the page up differently
pickle wrote:Cool idea with your CAPTCHA - but I'd suggest mentioning exactly what it's for.
I would have thought people would know what this is now, if not they should not be using the internet - but definitely a fair point so I have put it in.
pickle wrote:Again - make your "Send" button look different than the rest of your fields. I've also found that some people don't recognize a button as a button when it's really wide like that.
It says 'send', I think that is pretty obvious, but changing the colour is not difficult. But not having it so wide would again break my design, so that requires more thought.
NB: I have also made changes according to the comments mentioned further up in the thread.
