First impressions - to white and alot of links, ok the support our site link needs moving to the base, you`re making a big issue out of needing money for your site, how about creating a green table cell as a header and then adding the site name to the left "insdie of the cell", it`s not aligning correctly in Opera and Firefox in some places, your search IMHO needs dropping down under the green "books" cell, I hate these google ads, but you`ve managed to blend them in ok. I would have shaded tables for the links area and theres NO introduction... WHAT`s it all about, good luck. :)
Can you give me an example of how you would shade the grid?
