I didn't jump off the page at me. Maybe add a new header graphic to get peoples attention. My attention went straight to the ads and not to the content. If that is what you are aiming for then thats cool. Thing is I don't want to click those ad's so I left without looking much further.
Design is good, but I think you should narrow it down to specific category in order to get loyal users/readers. Right now it's too broad.
I think you have a little too many ads on the page and I think you should consider getting a different template for the site.
