I've put my comments on this on the critique thread for the site.

Bye, bye old skin.

Lots of little changes throughout the site, including the close menu control, and the navigation menu background graphic on the home page.

I prefer the 3D looks but also the 'old' colors.

Here is a snapshot of how things should look after hitting the Skin: Old link:

One of the problems I had with the old navigation colors was that it looked funny everywhere but the home page. Take a peek at the Contact page - the brief, bright menu colors used to make it way too prominent.

Introducing the gap between the nav and the center column was to try and bring the design of the home vs content pages closer together. With the gap in place, I thought that adding a 3-d frame around the controls might make them look better. Once again, even more important on the content pages where they're just floating there.

Still listening...

I agree with Julia about the mouseovers. I also think that the blue you've chosen doesn't look too good against the background (both blue, but different hues, which should be avoided.)

I see that you've taken away the green mouseover. I didn't actually mind that colour (didn't like the 3D look though). This blue (on mouseover) goes with the base blue but again, no with the page background. I like this menu, but I think that the one you had before was more fitting with the site. This is too technical and boxy looking.

No suggestions for the title right now. YOu may think about creating a symbol of some sort that represents her in some way.

I agree that I like the 3D effect of the nav but I don't think it fits with the flatness of the rest of the page and I don't like the mouseover green, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the design. IMO the site seems to be becoming more disjointed now.
