It'd be easier to compare if you have the link to the old layout. I would put a border along the left side of your site though, and some of the text is hidden by the ads; might want to look into that.
Part of the text is hidden and you might think about unboldening the text. The normal font would be much easier on the eye.
The text, that was copied and pasted from another website, should be medium type like Qwestcommunications suggested. Also, it should be justified for readability.
While its clean and simple, i think there is an overload of ads here... If I were to come across a site like that on the net, I'd close it straight away... But I guess we're looking at what other people will do on the page... BTW, like to see what the old one was also...
I know you use dreamwaver to design your site, and my sites does too. you can take a look at my site maybe it would helps you in some ways. http://www.best10s.com
