Please review my design

:hi:

After reading some articles concerning web2.0 style guides, I've decided to make a new design for my site. It's a image hosting site. The new design is finished and I just uploaded it to my server. please follow the link:

I try to keep the design as simple and clean as possible. I'm not an expert (newbie and still learning) and I need your comments and suggestions guys . I wonder if I should keep this design or switch back to old design.

Here is the old design:

Please let me know how I can improve it.

Thanks

Honestly,

I love it, great design nothing i would change, while there really is no set term for "web 2.0" we all have our personal views on that it is what most people expect web 2.0 to be, very clean sleek and modern.

I love it, normally i am a bit hard on designers and coders but nothing at all i would change.

Thanks BMFX, your opinion is greatly appreciated

Regarding the term web2.0, I agree with you. But from my readings, many say that some of web2.0 design elemnts are:

bigger fonts (preferred font Arial)
bold logo
gradients
clean & simple
etc

one of my fav article on the net is

Hands down, the new design looks certainly better and more user friendly than the old one. The one thing that stands out to me, and this may be a Firefox/2.0.0.6 issue, the nav bar is left oriented and not centered.
Other than that, looks great!

Thanks IntelBank . About the nav bar, it's not the firefox, I made it that way. But, I think you're right. I moved the bar to the center.

the new design is much better...
