Do you link the font? The colors? The image (it's Gimp's logo, because the site is about gimp tutorials).
* font is big reduce the size a bit * if possible u can use a clear font cos most of the userbars I have seen use clean fonts that are easy to read even in small text sizes * I can recognise the gimp logo but its too dark or burned in _
Like everyone has said - I also don't like the font. Work on it. The rest isn't bad.. font just sticks out like a sore thumb.
