Can you please have a look and tell me what you think? I have made some changes. The background is now darker so the containers come out a bit and there are a few more small changes to liven up the page. If somebody tells me how to stop the background img from repeating vertically, I would make one last change.

It looks pretty good. I'm not sure I like the dark teal background, it seems 'heavy' , but color is a personal thing and rather subjective.

The only other thing I think you need to change is the text on your buttons. The contrast between the blue of the text and the color of the button just isn't enough, the text gets lost on the button.

Codewise, you need to clean it up a bit.
Don't use <br>s between paragraphs and such, use your CSS to space things out.
You've got a lot of this going on:

That is ugly coding and not necessary, again, use your CSS. Strings like that can
actually cause IE to choke in some instances.

You've done a nice job !

Colour scheme is not my favorite. I don't like all the ad space either, kind of cheapens the website. Functionally sound in firefox. Would like to see a nice logo....something that ties in with a better colour scheme.

I agree that the contrast could be a bit stronger on the buttons, but other thant that it looks great.

I would like to shrink the top space a little bit. Also, the "google" ads bar breaks the entire page into two parts, it may look better if you keep it the same width as others.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I've used " " because there is no code for "tab" in HTML. And regarding the buttons...I'm not very good with colours. Any other colour than the one I've used just doesn't seem right. If you have any suggestions, please post the #000000 code.

The layout's quite good but I'm not a fan of the colours. The nav bar buttons are very hard on the eyes and distorted further by the flicker effect in the rollover. And there's too many ads...

i think you should fix the pixelation areound the google logo at the top. but a white background around it or semthing.

Not my favorite colors, but they don't clash or strain the eye so I think ok. There does seem to be a big green bar running across the top of your site with a google ad on it. Keep the google ad if you want, but I would get rid of the green bar. Major distraction.

The justification on some of the paragraphs are poor. I think the colours would look better if they were less of a hue and the text of the navigation bar needs to stand out more. Also. I don't know why. but It takes a few seconds to load on my 2meg bb. Longer than most sites. Good site. I ended up spending some time on there reading some of the articles.
