Need feedback on my website
First true website, just a blog type thing, but LMK what you think
I am aware that the header looks funky, I'll fix it later I just wanted to get something concrete.
Only thing that is annoying me is that I can't get rid of the 2nd widget box, I only need one...whatever.

Please keep in mind I am in NO way a web designer or have had any experience in it, lol

Yeah I saw that, it only happened when I put that little Alexa rank thing in there...I'd like to keep it though since it counts for every visitor thus updating Alexa on my site...

Not bad, but the header could use a little fixing up.

Like I have been advised before don't have a forum if you don't have enough visitors. Just wait till at least a 100 ppl come to your site every day and then start one. Try free advertising for your site wherever you can ! Bookmark it ! Stumble upon it !

You may want to check it on Opera's browser. I use it and there's a few pixels off on your site.
Aside from that I would fix the rounded corners on those 2 poll things. The rounded corners look very blurry and you can make them a lot better. You can even google something like "rounded corners" and you'll probably get lots of javascript solutions that might be better for you.
I would also consider shrinking down your search bar as it seems to be invading the banners' space.
I also feel the main navigation bar isn't getting enough attention. The white text that is the same size as the rest of the website should pop a little bit more and possible be centered or at least have some spacing on the left side.

I don't think the gradients and the design on that header fits with the website.

The site looks awesome, but you need to work on the navigation bars on the right. Don't put them side by side, put them vertical. Make them the same color too. i like the darker red. It matches the site better

The coding of your site needs alot of work. Your coding doctype is listed as XHTML 1.0 Transitional but I believe this is an error.
Please check http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0
there were 20 errors found on your index page.
Site design seems very professional and looks very appealing. Good luck with it.http://www.favhost.com - Helping the world find you.

OK, changed the sidebar, though I can't figure out why there are those little "0"'s underneath each link....
Here's the small code if someone could help me
<li>
<h2>TD Favorites</h2>
<ul>
<?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', '<br />', FALSE, 'id', TRUE, TRUE, -1, TRUE); ?>
</ul>
</li>

It looks very professional. The stuff above the fold was especially nice, but it sort of seemed like a waste of space to have all that blank area on the right further down (under the navigation bar). Not sure if it would look right to move content over there or not...
Content-wise it was a bit all over the place: cars, video games, a skateboarder falling four stories, etc. When I find interesting blog-style pages I tend to specialize. If I want gaming news I go to a blog that specializes in that. If I want news about, say, robots, I find a blog that specializes in robots.
I'm pretty new to this web stuff, so take my comments with a grain of salt, but I felt like your site needed some cohesion or a hook.
