Me, Elsewhere I added a pop of color to the “elsewhere” links in the right-hand column of my site. The Muxtape-inspired look includes a prominent color from each featured site: Facebook blue, Flickr pink, Hype Machine green, and so on.  What do you think?  Is it an improvement?  Are the colors too distracting?  Did I completely butcher the HTML code?  Wouldn’t it be cool if Tumblr offered a “poll” post type for things like this? Update: Thanks for all the great feedback.  I toned down the colors and added a rollover effect on your suggestions.  It looks much better now.  Thanks for all the help.

    Maybe you could tone down...colors a bit? Make them blend into
