I think the site design is very striking, but I have to agree with Kafkaesqui about the text contrast. I can read it just fine, but others may have a problem with it. Other than that, the aesthetic qualities of the site are phenominal! You pulled off the use of fractals in your design without seeming cliche (which is really difficult, in my opinion), you’ve made good use of three dimensional elements in the design, adding depth and visual interest, and the pallette is gorgeous.

Your use of wordpress pushes the envelope — very innovative.

I think this is a great idea — I’m looking at installing this plugin so that I can point people to it. I get a lot of questions from people about the plugins I use, so it would be fabulous!

Wonderful site! I really like the new design.

The favicon is a nice touch, but I’d have to agree with some of the other posters: the site would be a little bit more legible if you bumped the contrast up a tiny bit. The link text may not look as small if you used a slightly darker color, and the links at the bottom of the page would benefit from a little darker background color as well.

Other than that nitpick, the new site is a huge improvement. It looks great.

I can help you out, but I need an email address to contact you. No payment necessary.

What, specifically, are you having problems with?

Jinsan,

I think the four-in-a-row bit on top could pretty easily be achieved–what you need is to put the content in two nested lists. The main list could be an unordered list, with display:inline; as its controlling style. The list inside of each list item would be a definition list, with display:block as its controlling style. The code would look like this (scroll down for CSS):
<ul id="shorts">
<li>
<dl><dt>Your title here</dt>
<dd>Your content here. </dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li>
<dl><dt>Your title here</dt>
<dd>Your content here. </dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li>
<dl><dt>Your title here</dt>
<dd>Your content here. </dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li>
<dl><dt>Your title here</dt>
<dd>Your content here. </dd>
</dl>
</li>
</ul>

and your css would look like this:
ul#shorts {
display:block;
width:100%;
background-color:#000033;
}

ul#shorts li {
display:inline;
}

ul#shorts li dl {
display:block;
width:23%;
height:10em;
padding:1%;
border:1px solid #000;
color:#FFF;
}

Hope this works for you,
Tina
