What do you think of my design?

My site is: http://www.n-next.com

We recently put a new design up, with a more organized, clean feeling. Please pardon the validation errors, because our news script is currently flawed and it's causing the coding to have several errors.

Anyways, I just want you to tell me what you think about the design, and possibly content. Thanks.

Didn't you post here: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=49638
about the same thing?

Have you read the forum rules?

This would be much better off in the site reviews forums - ask a mod to move it.

If you happen to start a thread in a less then appropriate forum: no biggie, a moderator can move it to a more appropriate one. What you did is start another one which is considered cross-posting and is frowned upon.

Next time when someone suggests a move, please DO NOT cross-post but have patience and wait for a mod to move it.

As for the review:

Your design looks quite allright; maybe a bit heavy on the grey, although the dark red links are a nice touch.
It's the markup I have more of a problem with; it's fairly table-heavy and there are quite a number of font elements, and presentational b elements where hn elements would be much more appropriate.
CSS has been used, but its use can be extended considerably, making many of the tables and all of the font and other presentational elements unnecessary.
Lastly, there's a number of methods that are far more preferable for creating a graphic menu bar then image maps. Oh, and a hover effect would be nice.

Well to continue on the orgional topic, I like the design of your site. It is easy to navigate. No complaints from a casual look around.
