Which is the best...

[mlearn]

I have three designs of my site that I am working on, and I am just cuirous what people on here think about the three designs.
Design 1: http://www.LearnFamily.com
Design 2: http://www.LearnFamily.com/nuke
Design 3: http://www.LearnFamily.com/phpnuke

If you can not guess, the second two are using Php-Nuke and another variation of it. The second and third designs are lacking some of the content and personalized graphics... I am just trying to figure out which one has the best general layout and navigation scheme. Please let me know what you think of each of the designs so that I can put all my time into one design to get it looking just right and having all the content...

I think most of people who are in to design are not interested in php-nuke or any common nuke script. It makes all the website look more same, and more boring. I think your first design needs more improvement but it's also best in three. Maybe it's because of the nuke hate :).

But it's always better than having something that is your own than changing a common thing to be yours. In design it's much more important and meaningful I think.

I like your html version the best.

As Stradicaster noted, it could use a little cleaning up but I like the layout.
You have some good looking logos posted and the images are nice too. Nice to see another Nikonian out here :D

Thank you for the kind replies... I guess I was just afriad that the original version did not look good enough, that is why I was looking at trying to use something like php-nuke or the related... Currently, I am just playing around with the nuke stuff, and I am going to see if I can use some of the nuke modules (like the random image) in my custom site...

You both mentioned the first site needing some cleaning up, what do you have in mind? What can I do to help clean it up... I am looking for any suggestions that you can give to me...
