-I think the banner is a little too long, you should be able to atleast see part of the post on a 1280x1024 resolution
-I'm not so sure about the transparent bg for the posts, it makes the transition from teh banner to the post to the bottom a little odd
-The WMP really ruins the over all look/color design of the layout. You should think about just setting up a flash player w/ color that mesh well
-You should move all the nav buttons to the top and jsut decrease the amount of buttons.
-Because your design is so thin, the scrollbars looks out of place. If possible I would border the whole design to the width of the scroll bar and just have the scroll bars serve as the right border of the posts and bottom module. It takes a bit of coding but it's doable and it's a cool look/effect
-You dont have to set another layer w/ a alpha filter for the nav buttons, that and the line makes the whole thing feel too disconnected, just put the buttons onto the banner w/o a second layer.
