    and yes all the images are saved and displayed locally... multilingual support is working, and all text has been rewritten from the original and passes copyscape., also just as a note the cached copy's are not indexable, they are rel="nofollow" (i made it optional for each site)

    I like the overall design a lot. Is that overlapped section on the top right intentional though?

    I like the clean design! For your adsense ad (one on top of the other), I think it would look nicer if you moved one of the ads into the content area instead..

    I like the design, but...

    the rewritten text is really messed up. I mean reading it gave me a headache.

    The flags would look better on the sidebar IMO.

    Overall design is good. as SEO Guru mentioned, shift the flags from the main navigation to maybe the top right hand corner of the header. You can use the blank space in the header in a better way by adding a search box there. Also, change/update the image you are using in the post for ''Woot -Off is On!'' to get rid of the horizontal scrolling.

    Your site is looking good!

    The only thing that I would suggest would most likely be to get another template even though this one is very nice. This is because this is a free template provided on free template site so you would see a few sites across the web that has the same template as you. It would help make your site stand out more with the new template. Just a suggestion. :)

    A little mess-up in IE7: see attachment. Try to fix that :)

    In fact very well website. Your google ads are having a red link; howeve ryou're not using the same red anywhere else. maybe you could change that color? Makes it better suit the template - though, it already suits it quite well.

    Your translation function is very nice too lol!
    Why do you use an image for the digg button? Why not use a link, just like the reddit and stumble link? ;)

    To finish off with, the menu links "archive", "cachedex" and "contact" don't actually get animation when you move over, while you do have "animation" (the gray bar below) (hover effects) when you go over home or the language flags. Maybe fix that?

    Hope this helps.
    Keep it up!
