I didn't see the original but here are my comments on the new site. I feel that there should be a graphic or two in the header. I don't really see a need for the go Home link in there either. The site looks very busy and to use a site like this I'd personally look for one without adsense. I do however like the color combination and like the functionality of the site.
You should remove the adsense ad in the header and put in a graphic, the text in the body of the page looks cluttered it would look better if you created some negative space and possibly fit the text on 2 pages instead of 1.
