The color scheme looks like...mud.

Change the color scheme.

1) I don't like the blurred image flip. I guess it would be ok if just the text became blurry, but the whole image does. It looks stupid when there is a blurry box standing out.

2) Keep all the pages the same color. It just doesn't work. It would, though, look good if the left side frame changed to the same color as the current page, but that would be really hard to accomplish.

3) For some reason it looks awkword with the left menu aligned all the way to the top while the main content area has a top margin. Or at least the main page does.

I agree with everyone about consistency of look - that's important. But I disagree about the comment of the grayed out look. It's a little too dark for me. Maybe if the text was white, or the logo popped out a little more. I feel like I'm under water - dirty water.

But I really like the navigation. Having just a little bit of white helps them pop out more.

Overall it's a good site.

MaryWinn,

I like the site, but I have to agree with TheGraphicsExperience on his/her first point - the main colors should be constant throughout the site, make variations to the header graphics of each page if you feel the need to vary the look from page to page.

You may also want to consider using the same type of table border on your pages - the appearance of the table on contact varies greatly from newsletter, and some pages don't even have table borders. Just a thought.

Best of luck.

A few things...

Alright:

1). Each page seems to be static from one another. I believe that developing a solid color scheme would remedy this.

2). It may just be my computer [which is about to get rebooted] but the pages seemed to load kind of slow on my cable.

3). You know, I like that blurry effect, but why not reverse it? I did that on a web site, where the people had to actually interact with the web site in order to use it.
Of course, that's a matter of personal style.
