About the layout...

Designwise:

Well the style of the left buttons has basically been 'whored' throughout the web, while the three pixel dots as bullets 'had been' whored at one period of webdesign. Even if you are using the trendy glossy effect throughout the website (even the icons). The thing with the bird on it (the banner?) has a different type of glossy effect applied to it, as it is in a wavy form.

Keep the style constant throughout the layout. The content boxes need serious help as they are boring; the red vertical stroke isn't doing anything for them.

Change the colour of the green font on the grey background as it is uncomfortable to the eyes. I sort of like the tab on the right :P

The container of the layout has a nice border around it.

Otherwise:

The structure of the layout is poor -the placement of the banner causes a waste of space and the advertisement shouldn't have such a huge content box.

All my comments and suggstions were intended to better you. Good luck.
