Hello,
The site is good, maybe make the toplist thing beside the banner. To make it look better, take of allof those links like winzip and such. Center the Webmaster Jar Logo. Good site

Well Craig said everything really!
- getting a new/better logo might be a thought.
- try blue instead of grey.
- you could use more content on your main page.

Otherwise it looks very clean design wise (except at the bottom section)

Sorry for being a little mean, I was just in a bad mood as I was working on my site for a while today and scrapping the whole design afterwards

Howdy, mate.

My first impression was that it was gray. A little too gray

Things I'd improve on:
1. Way too many buttons at the bottom of the page. I'd cut it down to 5 or 6

2. Is it completely necessary for that topsites image link at the bottom of the page? I'd try to integrate it more into the site, as the way it is right now leaves a lot of empty gray space.

3. Drop the dna button? It doesn't really state what's in the site after it, takes up a lot of space, and makes even more empty space. :\

4. perhaps centering "The Webmaster's Jar" image?

5. imo, I think it would be best if you dropped the top sites part. It's not getting much traffic, but it is taking up quite a bit of space on your navigation bar. I'd also try to make it fit into one line on a 640x480 screen.. perhaps the search link can go as well, since you have a search box right above that bar.

6. Since many of the links on the navigation bar lead to your links engine pages [which appears to be the main thing in it :)], perhaps it might be good to make that your startup page to draw more attention to it? [with the newsletter signup box there, and maybe dump the tell a friend thing :)]

7. More on the newsletter thing: since you have a signup box on your main page, your newsletter page doesn't seem to have a use. It could be a good thing to remove from the navigation bar to cut it down to size

8. Last of all, put up some old issues of your newsletter .. I only sign up for them when I know what they're like, so I didn't sign up for yours. :\

Hope this helps, adios. =)
