It looks nice on the dates, though. However, I think if you took the gray a little lighter and moved the shadow in "closer" to the actual text (Right now it looks like the shadow is afraid to touch the main text. Cooties issue?), the header would look fine, too. I feel the drop shadow is too severe for the “SPOOKEE.COM” header. It looks nice on the dates, though.

Overall though, I like the effect.<p>Now, about the aqua border around the box I'm typing in right now...perhaps a shift to a dull green with a gold undertone? Nothing wrong with the aqua, BTW, I just don't so much like blue-flavoured colours.
