Id like to see a bit more work with the typography, maybe some h1, h2 image replacements for you headlines using your nav font. I see the choice was made to use web fonts which is good, I just dont think georgia is cutting it for your headlines...
just my 2¢ – excellent work!

'sides...if everyone took the advice to change that, it would make for a lot of dull and boring websites if everything was black on white.Loved the site! :)

Hasn't the "secondary menu era" ended yet? I don't think a site requires a "secondary menu." Forgive the overexaggeration : ). I also agree with Clint on the fact that the typography needs a little more work. If these strikingly horrible elements were taken away, I'd say the designer'd have a pretty good site on his/her? hands.

wow, thats alot of comments i got here..let me see..
i agree i need to work on the typography.. i'm just beginning to toy with it, so, please forgive me. i've actually worked on the text color vs. background color problem quite a few times before, every time there seemed to be a group of people that didnt like it. oh well. i agree the nav needs a bit of work, actually all of it needs a bit of reworking here and there, but this being my first CSS site, having dumped the whole cant-do-it-without-tables ideology, i can say i'm pretty happy with it. i will take a few moments and rethink the design a bit, having everyone's opinon in mind (yes, i have some emails on this too).
sorry for the long yadda-yadda. just thought i needed to make some things clear :)
thank you all for your time and feedback. i really appreciate it.
