Maybe add a background? Not really related to the look but CSS and Javascript as separate files?

Just a couple of suggestions :D
 
Gradient Tables

I was searching the web for a solution to the previous poster.

How can I create a gradient background in a cell of the table on my site? I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to build the site. Thanks.

Or, if there are any other suggestions regarding how to solve the unattractive "solid gray"? I agree, it is a little too bland with the gray.

Thanks.
 
Some nice thick scan lines will liven up that drab grey. Here's a decent tutorial. I would make thick diagonal lines though.

I agree with poster above about external CSS/JS files. It will make updating so much easier in the future. One file to edit rather than every page.
 
I'd also get rid of the off white/white background. Maybe a dark brown or a green color similar to what is located in your banner.

As far as livening up your site. Maybe take a look at webcreme.com or a similar website for inspiration.
