I like it :D
But here comes my ten cents...
Okey the header...I don't have a hard time seeing the name of the site but you have "A whole new dimension" text as a jpg. and that's a no no...
text becomes blurry as you can see if it's jpg...
So I would change it to a .gif.
Or just cut that part out and change the text to .gif.
But okey you will proberbly cut it up and save the parts as gif...right?

Second thing.
You should do something to the background...
Maybe you have thought of it but it looks a bit plain like that...

third...
I'm not really that fond of black outline borders.
Maybe put the same image that is the bg of your links?
and then make it so it suits with the background...

Other than that it's really good

PS.Är du inte svensk?

The whole layout is saved as jpg, I have not sliced it at all yet. I saved it at a lower quality so it would load faster for you guys. I guess the border does look black. It supposed to be a dark brown. I have not decided what I will have as the background yet, right now it is just a jpg sitting on a white back. I like the idea about the nav into a border thing, might have to try that. Thanx :D

I do live in Sweden, but I am a bit of everything european. :p

A bit better.
The tag line under the logo is still hard to read.

Let me give you some other tips.
On the main page of a layout you shoul not use big bloks of text. It's not appropriate in webdesign. They don't look good, and the make the visitor feel bored. Better give him a preview of what he could find out if he reads the hole article.

If possible, add some pictures (thumbs) to those bloks of text. Only for more visual impact, but make sure that they are related to the content of the thread.

I hope thus helps. Anyway ... you're on the right track.

*running around looking for the "hole" in my article" I couldn't help myself. :p Those blocks of text are just there to show that I will have text after I slice and code it. I might add some thumbs when I code it. It is just in the layout stage. I will work on making it better. Thanx for the C&C.

I'm not sure what do you mean by: *running around looking for the "hole" in my article.
If you want to say that I'm trying to find only wrong things then I have to say it's only because of my job. For 2 year of beeing employed as a webdesigner I listed to make things like this coming from the Art Director. Now I have my own company, and I am the one advicing ppl. Sorry if I offended you. In case I didn't, feel free to ask me things that you would like to know or advices.
Cheers.

"but this one is not really inspired." ... wtf dood ? we call it being original :\ perhaps try it ?
...
anyway about the site:
I like it only thing I might change is the background ;) maybe have a nice soft color, with a bit of texture, but try not to have the texture stand out, like what pank has here.. but not blue :D try a nice light brown or something, other than that I really do like it .. well done.
