What do you all think? Any feedback (usability, design, content, etc) would be greatly appreciate, as would participating by posting content.

Thanks!

The green-on-white of the left hand menu doesn't work for me. I'd suggest an easier to read combination, eg a darker green or a grey background perhaps.

I searched "bondi" but it didn't find anything, even though I know there is a shot tilted Bondi Beach. The same happened for "Sydney" and "Olympics".

Looks like an interesting site, I'll be back

The banner seems to be too wide for what's viewable on the page. Also, I'd recommend using part of the banner as a link to the site's main page.

I'm not a fan of four-column sites in general unless they're massive MSNBC-style pages that are in that many sections.

Otherwise it seems clean. Darken up the green bits and it's good in my eyes.

I've heard a lot of negative feedback regarding the left column and am working on it, so thanks. Also, thank you for pointing out the search bug -- turns out I was missing a set of parens in an SQL statement.

Ok, I fixed the search functionality and tweaked the colors/layout a bit. Any more thoughts?
