Jeremy, I like it. It's simple, easy to navigate, colors are pleasing. Very nice.
The only thing I'm not a fan of is that the forum board looks so much different from your site I feel as if I've been directed to someone else's board.
. Too much space constantly dedicated to your logo
. I dislike sites that force a pre-defined size. I have a big monitor with lots of screen real estate and I should be able to use it. Limiting the size horizontally is one thing (and fairly common, so lines of text don't get to be 350+ characters long), but limiting size vertically is just wrong.
. Really dislike sites that make me use "add on" scroll bars and put stuff in a pre-sized, repetitively used box.
. Don't really care for pop-up windows when browsing a gallery
Hope you don't take my comments the wrong way; I'm just offering my personal opinion. It is great that you now have a web presence and a place to show off your work. I just wanted to give you some things to think about in terms of usability.

Hi,
Your website is a fast, simple and stylish one. Congragulations.
But as a amateur web designer I must warn about one thing.
Your graffic on the background is too big and you must place
it on the page's main table. The links and text scrolls over it
(and becomes invisible)when we look at the bottom of the page.
Anyway good effort for a personal page, congrats again. well done.

I don't always see eye to eye on everything with EddyG, but I'll have to admit that he has done a good job of summarizing similar things I would have suggested...
