Not a bad design at all... although i'd suggest cleaning up the baby a little, it looks rough around the edges. Overall, I give it an A!
The banner could be better... Change it and the overall aspect will rise by 2 points from a scale from 1 to 10
satz- i hired a designer to hook me up. got my theme with widgetized footer too. ok i will try to clean up the baby image around the edges. agilius- how could the banner be better? khalibali- thanks for the comment
everybody hates the baby pic. i guess it's kinda creepy but it's become my baby. so i will keep it for now. thanks everyone for the nice comments.
