Ok, based on both your and Ivan's comments I modified a bit more.

Making the top columns and the lower columns the same width looks bad,
but I agree that the large margin between the blurb and the
Documentation headline was too large.
After I changed that, however, the Documentation section and the News
sections did not line up anymore which looked even worse when the news
section had a different background colour. So instead the background
colour is used for the quicklinks. Removing any use of a background
colour would makes things too boring, though.
I also swapped the heading colour and the title bar colour. So
headings are now a very dark blue.
The italic things in the blurb are actually not links (though they
could be). Without any styling the blurb would look too boring, so
I'm using the same blue that the title bar uses.
We were discussing it briefly around the office and some things I recall from that:
a) There's only so much you can do with square boxes, flat colors, and a single font.
c) the wiki bar at the top has got to go
d) how do the designs look on mobile devices?
It looks like you've definitely tackled (c), so that's great. It seems like maybe we can draw on (b) to help address (a).
I wish I had more concrete suggestions. Keep up the good work!
