    I have recently changed the design of my Web Directory.
    And have also updated/added/removed quite a couple of things.

    I'm looking for some feedback on it.

    Thanks. :D

    Looks pretty good, but what about the red bar? It doesnt match the rest of the page and it doesnt contain any important information, just search form, which can be placed at the darker bar above.

    Also you should use background-position or other kind of preload for the right menu, when I hover above I have to wait to load the image.

    The red bar is part of the design, in my opinion, it looks better with it. If the search bar was placed above, IMO, again would not look well either because it is the navigation bar.

    If you click on directory categories, it gives you an option to go back to the homepage and shows what page you are on. Therefore, it is not completely useless.

    Can you explain to me what you meant by the last statement? Everything loads fine & fast for me.
