The content is nice, as stated above but the layout needs some help.
Few suggestions:
Your Google ads, after refreshing a few times I had ads that related nothing to your site. Some bikini, LOTR, Disney, Car Screensavers and desktops.
The color is a bit bland, it needs some work. If I were you, I'd look over you choice of colors. Perhaps use colors that are on the opposite side of the color spectrum to get a good (and appealing) contrast effect.
The borders around your tables look a bit noobish. The hashed line effect is often related to noobs. Perhaps make it a solid line (definetely not white).
Your logo is aligned to the right. Perhaps move it to the left
(Referring to this logo:

I noticed you like using similies (like : ) or : P), how about implementing a "similie system" that shows images instead of the text.
Try to avoid talking in first person, I don't know, but to me it seems less professional.
If you can, I'd recommend getting a more graphical layout. I understand this is the first version and more than likely you'll improve as you go along. (Once my company is set up, I'll sell you a layout at a discounted price. Just remind me, however, the site might not be up for a few months.)
Other than that, it's not too bad. I like your content and the overall idea of the site. I wish you the best of luck, and hope your site grows.
