ack.
massive low-quality image. not good. links seem random. no real theme for content. cliche font. only one color, not much of a color scheme. the layout isn't lined up and there are things flashing all over the place.
try making the banner more of a banner shape, cus at the moment its square. it should be smaller and should go accross the top of the page
also, make sure everything is clearly lined up.
the navigation takes up too much space, people don't like having to scroll all the way down to find their content. it would be better to make smaller links that go accross underneath the banner and fit onto one line or to make them go down the side of the page so they don't kill the layout.
on the up side, this isn't the classic cluttered layout with all seven colors of the rainbow flashing everywhere so i see you have taken a lot of things into consideration

keep up the hard work.
