Thanks for looking at it

And yeah I guess I did overdo it with the speed over design part, as it's one of my pet peeves (I have no patience for loading x3)
Was there a specific thing that jumped out as bad? I myself was rethinking the design and I must admit the black gradient is unneccicary and pretty bad looking. Think I should get rid of it or at least tone it down a little?
And also this may seem a weird question but... what is the background color for you? Because I've tested it in all browsers that I know of... except IE.... If that's not the case, I'll change the bg because the text is pure black on the content areas x3

EDIT:
I've edited the design to where it looks more appealing in my opinion. Comments?
