It looks good, just a few small changes I'd make in the template.
The menu ("Home | About me..") isn't aligned very well, the text to its background, I mean. The padding in the main body is larger left+right than it is up+down. The two boxes beneath the main body feels as if it should have slightly more rounded corners (only a very tiny bit, like the main body). And also I'm not too sure on the scroll bar, it feels too... Chunky?

But it looks really nice - how did you do that background?

the background.. hmm. I wish I could take credit for it but I 'borrowed' it from another site

thanks for your comments, I will watch the slight differences when I turn it into a working site, and will definitely look into rounding those edges... cheers

I was thinking, maybe it might look better with a slight carbon feel

yep totally agree with those comments - the navigation alignment and that 1990's scroll bar are all that is wrong on both versions.

lol cheers, but those are just image mistakes.. the scrollbar for example, wont be an image when I make the site and the menu will be aligned properly

I guess its just aesthetics within the image that wont necessarily reflect the end product.
