Shame it's just an affiliate site selling templatemonster templates. In fact... your site uses a templatemonster template doesnt it? Theres little point asking for a review when you havent designed the site or created any content yourself.
One thing I would say, the right hand side of the page alternates between 1 and two columns, make the far right and far left edges line up, it'll look a tad nicer.

I think that is a little harsh as he has obviously spent a great deal of time an effort integrating the TM feed into the site and arranging the layout in order to try an make it unique. OK he's an affiliate of TM, yes he's used one of TM's templates, why does that mean he does not deserve a site review? Just because it's a template doesn't mean he ahsn't used any skill to get it up and running...
The only reason I can think of not to review the site, which I won't, is that he hasn't reviewed anyone elses yet!
Cheers,

Because it's not his content to post for review. The design is someone elses, the content is someone elses, all that's left is the way someone elses content has been integrated into someone else's design. Not much point really is there?

I totally agree that the design and the content are not his. You can see that a mile away if you know TM's products (which I do
. My point is, however, it still takes a certain amount of skill to integrate the backend coding required to resell the templates. It takes a certain amount of skill to make sure it adheres to web standards and backward compatibility.
I haven't bothered checking the site in various browser or checking the code coz he hasn't reviewed other sites but he should still be entitled to feedback from a technical perspective..
Love the iPod site BTW...was that a template?
Just kidding, it's obvious it wasn't!

First thing I noticed, since I do not have a cache of your site when I first visited, was that all the graphics on that first page "spread out" the entire page to huge porportions until they loaded and the proper height/width made them fit right.
Suggest using the height width of images on your site, if it is a dynamic site from a program, try using the table-fixed in a style statement of a table surrounding the offending image

Three days later, the poster hasn't even checked the thread... When I post for a review, I refresh the page obsessively!
