    Good design, but the red color of the links for the menu on the left hand side just doesn't go with the blue background. I would choose a lighter color perhaps. Also, is the magnifying glass really necessary? It seems that it is taking up a lot of space which could be used for other purposes (like ads maybe).

    Thanks for the tips, I have been messing with the link colors and I am trying to find something that will work, do you think a lighter red would work. i put the magnifying glass there as a temp place holder for the time being. There will be something else there soon! Thanks for the review!

    1. make the menu in center
    2. shorter the search box
    3. remove the http://www.theshopdetective.com/magnifying_glass.jpg
    4. place this: Welcome to The Shop Detective! - near the search box when it gets shorter u will have space and make the blue thing more higher
    5. remove the red 'home' button from the left, make the titles of the left menu bold red and the buttons simple black

    hope that helps
