14 days of jQuery Rating Options

[fixtatik]

So, my host decided it would be cool to run a contest for 14 days of jQuery (jquery14.com), and I decided it might be cool if I won something. So I went on a redesign of my site:

It's still a few days away from being finished (a lot of the transitions aren't where I want them to be and there are a few dead links), but there's something that's bugging the hell out of me and I can't figure out what it is. The link colors bugged me, so I'm going to change those, but besides that, something just doesn't feel right.

Ideas? :\

Whoa, looks pretty sick, dude. But, I think the colored lines in the background are kind of just... misplaced? It kind of doesn't look right there, it's a bit random, and it's kind of choppy too. I do like the simplicity and texture, though.

EDIT:

Also, on some pages that have the "Back to top" link, I think it should scroll the page up smoothly to the top, instead of reloading the content like that.

I haven't gotten around to the "Back to top" links yet. Right now they're relative to the current URL, so they're broken when it comes to AJAX.

By choppy, do you mean the edges of the image, or the transitions? If it's the transitions, you might need to restart FF. Memory leaks FTW. <3

I like the colored bares except the outline on the box that is going across the screen should be solid so when they pass over the bares it doesn't make them lighter. If that makes sense.

I think I might be tired...that kinda confused me.

Oh, the edges of the image. But still, if you look at it for a while, it just looks randomly slapped on there. I think you should kind of make those bars blend in, like maybe fade out the top and bottom edges or something.

And I think that Abbey was trying to say to make the stroke on the bar that goes across the page a solid color, instead of Soft Light (I think you used that, I don't know).
