25/30 - Overall Design:
I like it. It's clean and organized, and the colors go well together. The top blue border is kind of funky, and the navigation looks smooshed -- try making it a bit wider, and giving it a tan border -- but other than that, it's a very smooth, simple design. Incredibly functional.
20/20 - Functional:
Hey, didn't I just say this was a functional layout? Everything is clearly and logically placed on the page.
5/10 - Aesthetic:
I really like the swirly thing, but it's small and bordered by white which makes it look out of place. Try making two tables, and making the background for the image the same color as your entry background. Now that I look, the image itself has a white border, and has been resized with html. Try cropping it to make it blend with the page better, and resizing it so that it loads faster -- not that that's really a big deal, but I just have something against images that show up smaller or larger than they actually are. It's a peeve or something.
15/20 - Navigation:
Everything appears to work, but I noticed a discrepancy between the links on your guestbook and main layout (they all work there, though!) and the links on your archive page. One thing that seriously pissed me off was that for some reason, every time I clicked a link, your bravenet guestmap would pop up. Every damn time, man. I'm assuming it's probably a weird bravenet glitch, but it's irritating as hell. You may want to reconsider the whole guestmap thing if anyone else mentions such a problem.
10/10 - Originality:
Tres original.
10/10 - Browser Compatible:
Oui Oui.
