Are you *sure* it validates? I'm seeing lots of open paragraphs and no
close paragraph tags. I couldn't check, unfortunately, because the W3C
links at the bottom are broken.

On doing it manually- you're right, it does validate. 4.01 transitional
really does let you get away with any old nonsense, doesn't it?

I would think visually you could use having something to differentiate
the part with content but outside the main content box from the rest of
the background- it seems like a box with some text outside it. I'm not
too big on design myself but that was striking to me.

Also when I mouseover the bottom row of content I get an underline over
the whole line and it shrinks slightly.

Why not use a list for your list of links? That would be more
semantically accurate.

The buttons on the right of the homepage look a bit flattened and odd to
my eye.

Why are you using font tags?

The logo looks a bit shoddy- there are stray bright pixels outside the
lettering and they really show up.

Aside from that, I've seen worse...
